More than 20 arrested at Palestine Action protest in London
Police arrested more than 20 protesters in central London on Saturday on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action within hours of the organisation being banned by the government as a terrorist outfit. Among those detained was an 83-year-old vicar from Bristol. She was part of a group of activists gathered in Parliament Square holding placards that stated: 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.' The protesters were affiliated to Defend Our Juries, a civil liberties organisation, who had arrived at 1pm for a 'silent vigil' next to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian independence leader. They had notified the Metropolitan Police of their protest in advance. Officers gave the group a 30-minute grace period to register their dissent before they started making arrests, handcuffing each protester before marching them over to a row of blue police vans parked nearby. They included the Rev Sue Parfitt, a retired Anglican priest, who had travelled to London from the west of England. She took part in the protest sitting on a fold-away seat and was holding a walking stick when she was led away by officers. • MPs like Corbyn won't be prosecuted for Palestine Action support Speaking before her arrest, Parfitt, 83, described herself as a 'long-standing supporter of Palestine' who has repeatedly visited the West Bank. 'I feel the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza and practising apartheid in the occupied West Bank,' she said. Asked if she thought Palestine Action was a terrorist group, Parfitt said: 'Of course not. Civil disobedience has a long and honourable history in this country. Our government is cowering to the powerful Israeli lobby.' She said she had been arrested almost 30 times for taking part in climate change protests. The Home Office ban on Palestine Action came into effect at midnight after the failure of a last-minute legal challenge by the direct action group to stall its proscription. The move to designate it as a terrorist organisation was announced by Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, after two Voyager aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20. Palestine Action claimed responsibility for the stunt, which involved red paint being sprayed into the engines of the planes. Police estimate the damage to have cost £7 million. Four people have been charged in connection with the Brize Norton attack followed acts of vandalism at the premises of UK defence companies, which Palestine Action accuses of being involved in supplying the Israeli military. • Undercover with Palestine Action: 'Damage as much as possible' Those detained in Parliament Square are believed to have been arrested under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000. This relates to 'wearing clothing or carrying or displaying articles in public in such a way as to arouse reasonable suspicion that the individual is a member or supporter of a proscribed organisation'. One protester arrested was wearing a Palestine Action T-shirt, while other members of the group were holding supportive placards. More than 50 officers were involved in the police operation, which was largely peaceful. As officers moved in, one supporter shouted 'shame on you' as another yelled: 'British police, off our streets!' There were also chants of 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'.
