Activists intend to hold a protest against the ban on Palestine Action, committing to demonstrate in central London. This follows a warning from the Metropolitan Police, stating that anyone showing support for the organization could face arrest. Over 500 participants have pledged to take part, displaying signs advocating for Palestine Action. Despite previous mass arrests during similar protests, Defend Our Juries confirmed that the planned protest will proceed after meeting commitment requirements. The Met Police has noted its preparedness to manage large-scale protests.
Defend Our Juries has confirmed that 500+ people have committed to holding 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' signs on Saturday in central London, as part of the Lift the Ban campaign, to end the proscription of Palestine Action.
The group said those taking part will hold 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' signs on Saturday in central London as part of a campaign to end the proscription of Palestine Action.
More than 200 people were arrested at a wave of protests across the UK in response to the proscription last month as part of the campaign coordinated by Defend Our Juries.
A Met Police spokesperson said: 'We are aware that the organisers of Saturday's planned protest are encouraging hundreds of people to turn out with the intention of placing a strain on the police and the wider criminal justice system.'
