"More than 500 people were arrested during a mass protest in central London against the ban on Palestine Action at the weekend. The Metropolitan Police said 523 people aged between 18 and 87 were arrested for showing support for a proscribed organisation during the demonstration at Trafalgar Square."
"Prior to his arrest, Mr Del Naja told the Press Association he wanted to attend the protest despite the consequences a potential arrest could have on his music career. Being a musician, obviously, there was a lot of trepidation around how we might not be able to travel and get visas."
"I think that the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."
A mass protest in central London against the ban on Palestine Action resulted in over 500 arrests, with demonstrators aged 18 to 87 showing support for the organization. The protest, organized by Defend Our Juries, aimed to demonstrate resistance to the ban. Many elderly participants held placards while large banners conveyed messages about jurors and children in Israel. Musician Robert Del Naja was among those arrested, expressing concerns about the implications for his music career but emphasizing the importance of the protest against perceived war crimes.
