300+ arrested outside London’s US embassy for protesting against Gaza genocide and Palestine Action proscription

MORE than 300 protesters were arrested in London at the weekend for daring to stand against the genocide in Gaza and the “dystopian” proscription of Palestine Action.

About 400 people took part in Saturday’s vigil at the US embassy organised by Defend Our Juries to show solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine, shame the US for its complicity with Israeli forces’ criminality, and demand the British government ditch the proscription of Palestine Action.

According to the Metropolitan Police, 325 of them were arrested at the demonstration, 320 under the provisions of the Terrorism Act for the crime of holding placards with slogans such as “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” and “we are protesters, not terrorists.”

The latest round of arrests takes the tally to over 4,000 since Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation by then home secretary Yvette Cooper in July last year.

Before he was carted off by police for allegedly posing a threat, 74-year-old Charles Allison explained why he had made the journey from Cumbria to join the vigil.

“I fear for our civil liberties, which are being devalued and watered down, even by this new Labour government,” he said.

“So I’m dejected, but enthused that there are so many wonderful people protesting.”

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister. He asks who could possibly object to the IDF starving people to death, conducting forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing all Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He says they've got a genocide to do for Israel and to stop objecting.
