A 74-year-old woman was arrested at a pro-Palestine rally under terrorism laws, which she deemed an attack on free speech. More than 100 individuals were detained in the UK for allegedly supporting the proscribed group Palestine Action. The woman, Audrey White, expressed that she was shaken and frightened after the incident. Footage showed police detaining her amidst protest chants. White highlighted concerns over criminalizing support for human rights and peaceful protests, emphasizing the possible loss of fundamental free speech.
I'm very sore, very shaken, very emotional and I'm frightened to be honest. It's designed to stop human rights and to stop protest and to stop free speech.
There's two things to be afraid of in this country and one is that we lose everything we are proud of the ability to speak out and the other is that we would ever be involved in a genocide.
