Elusive street artist Banksy unveiled a provocative mural on September 8, 2025, at London’s Royal Courts of Justice, depicting a judge violently attacking a protester with a gavel.
The artwork critiques the UK’s judicial system amid crackdowns on protests, including over 850 arrests of pro-Palestine activists.
Authorities swiftly covered it, fueling accusations of censorship and igniting widespread online debate about free speech and institutional hypocrisy.
