Huge relief in #London as #terrorists arrested in #TrafalgarSquare.
Elizabeth Morley, aged 80, was one of hundreds of terrorists arrested by #MetPol #MetropolitanPolice under the #TerrorismAct2000 for holding a small, hand-written, paper sign in support of #PalestineAction.
The dangerous Morley said the mass arrests are a “very stupid thing to do”.
The ban of Palestine Action was ruled unlawful by the #HighCourt in February 2026.

Resumed #terrorism in London, as hundreds of #terrorists gather on Saturday in #TrafalgarSquare.
Senile subversives are yet again wreaking mayhem, with hand-written paper signs saying "I oppose #genocide. I support #PalestineAction".
Arrests had been suspended after a #HighCourt ruling that the ban on Palestine Action is unlawful, but the #MetPol ##MetropolitanPolice have heroically promised to resume detention of the ageing activists.
Hundreds of arrests expected.

In 2017 #Lammy published the Lammy Review as to how BAME ppl were treated by the CPS. One of its major concerns was the lack of black & brown people in the judiciary and, how that number has not changed over time, that, & the time in 2023 when he backed calls for compulsory anti-racist training are primary indicators that the reduction in jury trials WILL disproportionately affect minorities, badly
The nonsense he says today he condemned yesterday 🙄

As #ForeignSecretary, #DavidLamny was a dissembling supporter of Israel while it conducted a #genocide.
Now he is #LordChancellor & Secretary of State for Injustice. He is gutting the right to #jurytrial, claiming implausibly that it will speed justice. In reality, it's an attempt to eliminate #JuryNullification in trials of #protesters like the #Filton24 and the #Colston4.
This leaves a great mystery.
Lammy's politics are horrendous. Why is #Lammy not more hated?

High Court overturns Palestine Action ban
-
#DefendOurJuries organises protests against the UK's ban on #PalestineAction. DOJ says that 2,787 people had been arrested under the ban.
The ban remains in force pending an appeal. So up to 2,787 people still face onerous bail restrictions
BUT if the Appeal Court upholds the ban's overturning, then that's 2,787 wrongful arrest cases. The compensation bill will be huge.
And there will be many other cases, esp the #Filton24 who have been treated as terrorists in prison.
-
Karl Turner, a former shadow attorney general who is leading a fight against #Lammy's plan to reduce the number of Jury trials, has spoken to the Daily Telegraph: “Two ministers have come up to me separately in the last few weeks saying that if they can’t abstain, they will resign."

If prisoners do not have rights you do not have rights.
It took occupying the private prison building[2] and Zarah Sultana personally taking part in the protest[3] until the ambulance came[3] to get a dying women[1] on hunger strike an ambulance, prison staff were stonewalling doctors [1]
"
Qesser Zuhrah is taken to hospital after crowds gathered at HMP Bronzefield following her rapid health deterioration after 46days of hunger strike.
"

Judge in Palestine Action case has ties to Israel lobby
-
#London today: #MetropolitanPolice #MetPol bravely arrest some of the #DefendOurJuries #terrorists attacking the #RoyalCourtsOfJustice. The women & #pensioners sat with signs "I oppose #genocide. I support #PalestineAction".
Inside the #HighCourt, brave officials had replaced the judge with 3 new judges, 2 known to be supporters of repression. To ensure justice, part of the #JudicialReview hearing will be in #secretcourt, without the founder of #PalestineActìon or her lawyer.

This ⤵️ by Tony #Greenstein in his regular blogpost excoriates Palestine Solidarity & Stop The War Coalition for not getting behind what he asserts is the much more effective Defend Our Juries campaign!
“[..] Yet Stop the War Coalition and Palestine Solidarity Campaign Have Refused to Mobilise Behind the Defend Our Juries campaign. Why?”

British police arrest 900 people in London over banned group #PalestineAction
By SYLVIA HUI and JILL LAWLESS
September 7, 2025LONDON (AP) — "British police said Sunday that they arrested almost 900 people demonstrating in #London against a ban on the group Palestine Action, which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the government.
"Almost 1,600 people have now been detained, many for silently holding signs supporting the group, since it was outlawed two months ago. #Protesters say the ban on Palestine Action is an unwarranted curb on free speech and the #RightToProtest.
"The Metropolitan Police force said 890 people were arrested at Saturday’s demonstration, the vast majority, 857, under the #TerrorismAct for supporting a proscribed organization. Some 33 were detained for other offenses, including 17 for assaulting police officers.
"#DefendOurJuries, the campaign group organizing the protest, said 1,500 people took part in the demonstration outside Parliament, sitting down and holding signs reading 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.' "

Arrests made in #ParliamentSquare as pro-#PalestineAction protests held across #UK
Dozens of #protesters assembled in central #London on Saturday afternoon
Sami Quadri, Megan Howe, July 19, 2025
"Fifty-five people have been arrested for displaying #placards in support of proscribed group Palestine Action, Met Police has said.
"Demonstrations are taking place in cities including London, #Manchester, #Edinburgh, #Bristol and #Truro after the group was officially proscribed as a terrorist organisation two weeks ago.
"Dozens of protesters assembled in Parliament Square on Saturday afternoon holding white placards that read: 'I oppose #genocide, I support Palestine Action.'
"Some demonstrators were led away in handcuffs, while others were carried off by officers. In a post on X, the Metropolitan Police said: 'Officers have moved in and arrests are taking place.'
"Police said the 55 people arrested were arrested under Section 13 of the #TerrorismAct 2000.
"The Met had previously said around 70 people were arrested at similar protests in Parliament Square over the past two weekends.
"#DefendOurJuries, the group coordinating the campaign, claims a total of 120 people have now been arrested across the UK.
"The force warned that anyone expressing support for Palestine Action was likely to be arrested, adding that officers were also monitoring for chants such as 'death to the #IDF', led by punk-rap duo #BobVylan at #GlastonburyFestival.
"The ban, under the #TerrorismAct2000, makes it a criminal offence to be a member of or show support for the group — with a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison. Wearing a badge or #TShirt bearing the group’s name now carries a potential six-month jail term.
"Palestine Action co-founder #HudaAmmori is seeking to challenge the ban, with a hearing to determine whether a judicial review can proceed set to take place at the High Court on Monday."

Police issue warning over #PalestineAction protests after group proscribed as terrorist organisation
Demonstrators expressing support for Palestine Action could be jailed for 14 years
by Archie Mitchell
Saturday 05 July 2025 11:52 BST"The police have warned protesters against demonstrating in favour of Palestine Action after it was proscribed as a terrorist group by the government.
"#Protesters are planning to gather in #ParliamentSquare on Saturday holding signs supporting Palestine Action, according to campaign group #DefendOurJuries.
"In a letter to Yvette Cooper, protesters said: 'We do not wish to go to prison or to be branded with a terrorism conviction. But we refuse to be cowed into silence by your order.'
"But, ahead of the planned demonstration, the Metropolitan Police said the proscription means expressing support for the group is now a criminal offence in the UK."
