"Demonstrators are set to take action in London, Belfast and Edinburgh, holding signs saying: I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action. Defend Our Juries (DOJ) said the action is planned on condition of at least 1,000 people pledging support, but hundreds more are said to be planning to take part, with a boost in support after a number of activists involved in organising the protests were arrested under terror laws."
"Attendees are expected to refuse street bail, requiring more people to be taken into custody, and they plan to go floppy, forcing officers to physically carry them away. Scotland Yard's Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan warned that anyone showing support for Palestine Action would face arrest. He said the group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation and that police had the officer numbers, custody capacity and all other resources to process as many people as is required."
Demonstrations are scheduled in London, Belfast and Edinburgh with participants carrying signs reading 'I oppose genocide' and 'I support Palestine Action.' Defend Our Juries (DOJ) set the action on the condition of at least 1,000 pledged supporters, while hundreds more are reportedly planning to take part following arrests of several organising activists under terror legislation. Attendees intend to refuse street bail and use 'go floppy' tactics, increasing custody numbers and requiring officers to carry them away. Scotland Yard warned that visible support for Palestine Action will lead to arrest, stating the group is proscribed and that police have sufficient officers, custody capacity and resources.
