Media reports say that 46 people have been arrested after activists were in conflict on Congress Square on Saturday for the second week, and were arrested for opposing the ban on anti-Israel groups.
Police allegedly warned that supporting Palestinian actions was a criminal offence after similar demonstrations last weekend led to the arrests of 29 people.
Our campaign group protecting our ju-secret umpire organized a demonstration. This featured two small groups sitting on the stairs of both the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela in the Parliament Square, raising Palestinian flags and chanting slogans against the genocide.
“I oppose genocide and support Palestinian actions,” was written on a cardboard box held by some of the protesters surrounded by the Met. board member.
Lawmakers overwhelmingly voted for Interior Secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to ban groups under the 2000 Terrorist Act.
Thus, membership and support for Palestinian actions became a punishable crime up to 14 years, which bars, movement experts, civil liberty organisations, cultural figures, and hundreds of lawyers accused of being “Draconians.”
The Palestinian lawsuit filed a “urgent appeal” to overturn the order for judicial review, but the court rejected the last minute assignment.
