Protesters gather in support of banned Palestine Action in central London
Protesters have gathered for the second week in a row to demonstrate against Palestine Action being designated a terror group. Groups came together in central London on Saturday, with other demonstrations also planned across the UK, after police reiterated that showing support for the group was a criminal offence. The Metropolitan Police arrested 29 people for a similar demonstration last weekend. Two small groups of protesters sat at the steps of both the Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela statues in Parliament Square for the demonstration, organised by campaign group Defend Our Juries, shortly after 1pm, and received a brief round of applause. The individuals then wrote the message 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' with black markers on pieces of cardboard, and silently held the signs aloft, surrounded by Metropolitan Police officers, who formed a cordon around the Gandhi statue, and members of the media. We are responding to a protest in support of Palestine Action. Officers are in the process of making arrests. We will issue any updates on this thread. — Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) July 12, 2025 More demonstrations will take place in London, as well as in Manchester, Cardiff and Londonderry, Northern Ireland, on Saturday, the campaign group said. Scotland Yard said its stance remains that officers will act where criminal offences, including support of proscribed groups or organisations, are committed. The force added that this includes 'chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos'. The terror group designation means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The move to ban the organisation came after two Voyager aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20, an incident claimed by Palestine Action, which police said caused about £7 million worth of damage. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe Palestine Action, saying that the vandalism of the planes was 'disgraceful' and the group had a 'long history of unacceptable criminal damage'.

Two in court following care home smash
Two 21-year-olds have appeared in court after a stolen car crashed into a care home and two elderly residents later died. Sam Asgari-Tabar, of no fixed address, and Reece Parish, of Fordham Road, Sunderland, appeared separately at Newcastle Magistrates' Court following the crash on Wednesday night at Highcliffe Care Home, Witherwack, Sunderland. A blue BMW 3-series which was reported stolen was being pursued by police when it crashed into a wall of the care home, causing extensive structural damage which meant that the building had to be evacuated. Initially, Northumbria Police said eight residents required hospital treatment. On Friday, the force said a woman in her 90s and a woman in her 80s, neither of whom were in the eight taken to hospital, had died. Police inquiries into their deaths continue. Asgari-Tabar appeared before the court charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, said to be a resident who suffered spinal fractures. He was also charged with robbery of the BMW 3-series, which he was allegedly test-driving, and kidnap of the woman who was taking him out in the vehicle. No pleas were entered and Asgari-Tabar was remanded in custody to appear before Newcastle Crown Court on August 11. Parish, who had several supporters in the public gallery, faced two charges, robbery of the car and kidnap. Magistrates said the case was so serious that it had to be dealt with at the crown court and he was also remanded in custody to appear on the same date as his co-accused. As he was taken down to the cells, supporters shouted: 'We are all with you. 'Take care of yourself, we all love you mate.' Previously, police said the car was reported as being stolen in the Fenham area of Newcastle at around 9.25pm and was seen in Sunderland 15 minutes later when a pursuit was authorised. Following the police pursuit, a mandatory referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, officers said. Alternative accommodation has been found for the residents. On Friday, a spokeswoman for Avery Healthcare, which runs the care home, said: 'We are deeply saddened by the incident at our home in Sunderland and our thoughts are with all those affected. 'We are committed to supporting our residents, their families, and our dedicated staff during this incredibly difficult time.'
