The complainant has requested information about GMP’s communications with Jewish groups, the Israeli government and its representatives and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Greater Manchester Police (“GMP”) initially said that it did not hold any relevant information. It revised its position at internal review, providing such information as it did hold.
