North Wales Police has been ordered to disclose the reasons for stopping a UK lawyer who represented Hamas and seizing the contents of mobile phone to closed-door court hearing. Justice Martin Chamberlain said that he did not accept that North Wales Police could simply assert there was a lawful basis for stopping and copying the contents of solicitor Fahad Ansari's phone, without saying what the reason was.

I'll just make it absolutely clear to you, and I make no reservations about this, if anyone shows support for Palestine Action - an offense under the Terrorism Act - they will get arrested, he said. There's no doubt about that. We have the officer numbers, we have the custody capacity and all the resources to process as many people as is required. He revealed the force has access to contingency cells outside of London if needed.

A total of 532 people were arrested in London at the largest demonstration relating to Palestine Action since the group was banned, according to the Metropolitan police.

The intention to proscribe Palestine Action elevates them to the level of terror organizations without clear evidence of a serious threat from their actions.
