A trial date has been set in 2028 for an Oxford student who has denied stirring up racial hatred by allegedly chanting for Gaza to “put the Zios in the ground” at a protest.
Samuel Williams is accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour during the demonstration in central London on October 11 last year.
The 21-year-old was charged after a video was posted online of a man chanting in Whitehall during a Palestine Coalition protest.
On Tuesday, Williams, of Oxford, appeared at Southwark Crown Court and spoke to confirm his name and plead not guilty.
He was given conditional bail and told a trial date was set for January 17, 2028.
