An Oxford student accused of chanting for Gaza to “put the Zios in the ground” at a protest has been charged with stirring up racial hatred.

Video footage was posted online of a man chanting in Whitehall in central London at a Palestine Coalition demonstration on October 11.

Williams was arrested four days later and charged on Tuesday.
