Police arrest 13 people at Palestine Action protest in Norwich

Police arrested 13 people at a protest in Norfolk on Saturday on suspicion of showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action. A group assembled outside City Hall in St Peters Street, Norwich, holding placards referencing the organisation, Norfolk police said. The force said they were arrested on suspicion of displaying an item in support of a proscribed organisation, contrary to section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000. It added: 'Five of those arrested have been taken to Wymondham police investigation centre for questioning, where they remain. The remaining eight people were spoken to by officers and provided their details for further investigation. They were therefore de-arrested. 'A 14th person had their sign seized by officers during the protest and provided their details when requested.' Norfolk police superintendent Wes Hornigold said: 'We will always work to facilitate peaceful protest and protect the democratic right to assembly, however the actions of this group were unlawful. 'Our officers' role is to prevent disorder, damage and disruption in the local community and they will use their powers to do this. Any breaches of the law will be dealt with.' The arrests came a day after the Metropolitan police said a further 60 people will be prosecuted for alleged support of Palestine Action. The force said this followed the arrest of more than 700 people since the group was banned on 5 July, including 522 in central London last Saturday. More prosecutions are expected in the coming weeks and arrangements have been put in place 'that will enable us to investigate and prosecute significant numbers each week if necessary', the Met said. The Met last week confirmed the first three charges in England and Wales for offences under the Terrorism Act relating to Palestine Action. On Friday, organisations including Greenpeace and Human Rights Watch wrote to the attorney general for England and Wales arguing that protesters arrested for supporting the organisation should not be prosecuted until a legal challenge to a ban on the group has been heard. [ Palestine Action was proscribed last month by the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, after the group claimed responsibility for damage to jets at RAF Brize Norton and was also linked to allegations of a serious assault on staff and police officers at a business premises in south Gloucestershire.

'Brilliant' BBC crime drama is 'great' alternative to Midsomer Murders and returns this month

The programme unfolds in 1960s rural Warwickshire and stars comic Lorna Watson Charming detective series Sister Boniface Mysteries is making its return to BBC One later this month. ‌ The Father Brown spin-off centres on the title character, who made her debut in the initial series of the period drama, featuring Mark Williams. ‌ The programme unfolds in 1960s rural Warwickshire, where Sister Boniface, a wine-producing nun holding a PHD in forensic science, assists police with their criminal investigations. ‌ The crime series, which premiered in 2022, proves ideal for enthusiasts seeking to bridge the interval between instalments of programmes such as Grantchester and Midsomer Murders. Featuring an intriguing cast of eccentric and endearing personalities, a collection of baffling mysteries and a scenic setting, the comedy-drama offers viewers welcomed nostalgic escapism. What is Sister Boniface Mysteries about? The programme takes place in rural Warwickshire during the 1960s, an era when DNA remains undiscovered and the concept of trace evidence is still emerging. The synopsis adds: "Fortunately, the Great Slaughter Constabulary has a secret weapon in its fight against crime. Hidden deep in the countryside is St Vincent's Convent, a small community of wine-making nuns where ensconced in a laboratory is Sister Boniface [played by Lorna Watson]. "An IQ of 156 and a PHD in forensic science, plus an addiction to popular detective fiction and a fully equipped crime laboratory, make Boniface an invaluable aid to Police investigations. Mud, blood, stains, hairs and fibres. If there is evidence to be found, Boniface will find it. Poisons, trace evidence, blood stains, etymology. She's more up to speed on the latest forensic techniques than the Police. ‌ "In her role as official Police Scientific Advisor, Boniface works alongside the dashing Detective Inspector Sam Gillespie and Felix Livingstone, a high-flying Bermudian Detective Sergeant. Felix was supposed to be on secondment to the Metropolitan Police, but an administrative error landed him in Great Slaughter. "A cast of eccentric local characters combined with his boss's reliance on a nun leaves him reeling. Although, as Sam points out, that 'Nun' ensures they have the highest clean-up rate in the county." ‌ What have fans said about the programme? Fans have heaped praise on the series across social media platforms, with countless viewers drawing comparisons to beloved cosy crime dramas including Midsomer Murders and The Brokenwood Mysteries. One enthusiastic fan gushed on social media, as they took to Twitter: "I can not tell you how much I love Sister Boniface Mysteries , it's one of the most brilliant TV shows I've ever watched." Someone else added: "I love watching Sister Boniface Mysteries. What a great TV show. " A third viewer wrote: "Watching Sister Boniface Mysteries, good fun. A spinoff of Father Brown, but with more quirkiness and whimsy." How to watch Sister Boniface Mysteries The second series of Sister Boniface Mysteries is set to debut on BBC One at 2 pm on Friday, August 22, with new episodes anticipated to be broadcast weekly. The entire box set will also be accessible on iPlayer.
