A city councillor was among 13 people arrested during a protest supporting the banned group Palestine Action.
Footage from the incident this weekend shows Amanda Fox, a Green Party councillor representing the Mancroft ward, being carried away by a group of about 10 officers on Saturday (August 16).
In the video, shared on social media, Ms Fox can be heard saying: “I oppose genocide, when a people is being slaughtered, it requires us to stand up against that. We cannot just stay silent.”
Ms Fox also said she was a “peaceful protestor, a Christian and a pacifist” while being searched by officers.

“I oppose the perversion of our legal system, by our government, to facilitate their continued complicity in genocide.”

John McDonnell: Starmer and co are trashing Labour’s legacy. We must take back control of our party – before it’s too late
The suspended Labour veteran John McDonnell has called for a grassroots leadership challenge to the Labour government, warning that unless party members, unions and MPs “stand up and assert themselves to take back control of our party”, Labour risks losing not just its power: “We could lose a party.”
The former shadow chancellor accused Keir Starmer’s government of “callousness and political incompetence”, criticising its hesitance in abolishing the two-child limit on benefits, and what he calls a “brutal launch of an attack on benefits of disabled people”.
Writing for the Guardian five decades after joining Labour as a young trade unionist, McDonnell said the movement he had devoted his life to had “instigated a series of policies that fly like a knife to the heart of what we believed the Labour party above all else stood for when we joined the party”.
…
“Unless the party members, our affiliated unions and members of the parliamentary Labour party stand up and assert themselves to take back control of our party, in the next period, in the Labour party’s history we may not just lose a government, we could lose a party”, he said.
