RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/117348997361732216 "You were right" says Ed Miliband, while Labour carries on locking up protesters, who are in the right, for the audacity of showing up the British Government Meanwhile Far Right terrorists are called 'Activists' and given the gentlest touch by our security services. #UKPol #UKpolitics #TwoTierPolicing #PalestineAction #EdMiliband #Labour #FreePalestine

The impact on free speech & the right to protest of the proscription of Palestine Action seems to be growing as voters report growing concerns about Labour's policy. While hardly likely to encourage voters to shift rightwards, it could easily contribute to voters 'sitting on their hands' or shifting votes to the Green Party of England & Wales or others. One more own goal by Blue Labour. #politics #protest #democracy #PalestineActionhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/28/protect-free-speech-labour-liberty-poll

While genocidal maniacs go free, those opposing genocide are arrested yet again in Burnham’s Britain! “IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference” by Skwawkbox with The Canary @uk_politics@UKLabour@mastodon.cloud@thecanaryuk@independent-media.co.uk@palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @iran@iraq@mastodon.social@palestinenews@gts.liberated.press “Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group #PalestineAction. While al-Qaeda subsidiary #HTS in #Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned” https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/09/27/palestine-action-labour-conference/ #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Gaza #PalestinianGenocide #Zionism #SettlerColonialism #Resistance #EradicateZionism #DecolonizePalestine #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Iran #War #Trump #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah #UK #Labour #PalAction #DefendOurJuries #TerrorismAct #Proscription

Report: Dozens of US scholars have signed an open letter calling on UK PM Burnham: “to end the indefensible & counter-productive ban on Palestine Action... a nonviolent direct action group whose goal is to save lives & prevent genocide.” “We are all obliged to do whatever we can to prevent genocide." Lift the ban, drop the politically motivated charges, & "stop treating nonviolent protesters as terrorists." https://aje.news/r7py14?update=4991637#UKPol #USPol #EUPol #Palestine #PalestineAction #news .

Two Not Guilty verdicts in two significant trials! Two separate trials in one week have resulted in unanimous not-guilty jury verdicts. The trial of Olax Outis, a Dutch activist who spray painted Parliament Square’s Winston Churchill statue, concluded last week with every member of the jury determining that he had committed no crime, despite the claims of a cleanup operation costing “£7,000” (that’s an expensive jet wash!). Olax had been held on remand for nearly two months and was blocked from returning home in yet another ridiculous set of oppressive bail conditions against a pro-Palestine activist. Sarah Cotte was arrested in a violent dawn raid by counter-terror police months after she had made a speech about the rights of Palestinians outside her university, SOAS of London. A legal complaint had been made against Sarah by pro-genocide groups, UK Lawyers for Israel, and pro-Israel campaigners. She had already faced a trial in which jurors chose not to convict her, but prosecutors decided to waste yet more taxpayer money on a retrial which led to a unanimous not-guilty verdict. Both of these cases show the importance of jury trials, and highlight both the need to Defend Our Juries and the reason our corrupted corporate state is keen to remove jury trials altogether.

Report: Supporters of Palestine Action will hold placards outside the Labour party conference on Sep 27. Mass arrests are expected by the organisers, Defend Our Juries (DOJ). Since the proscription of Palestine Action in July 2025, police have arrested more than 3,600 people. Activists want Burnham to drop "Starmer’s policy of denying the genocide in Gaza & treating domestic dissent as terrorism." https://novaramedia.com/2026/09/18/hundreds-set-to-defy-palestine-action-ban-at-labour-party-conference/#UKPol #EUPol #USPol #palestine #palestineAction #news #Burnham .

Opinion "Defying the UK's oppressive terrorism laws is an honourable use of white privilege As protesters confront terrorism laws long used disproportionately against Muslims, they expose a system whose injustices were easier to ignore when they fell on the 'usual suspects'" https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/defying-palestine-action-ban-honourable-use-white-privilege #PalestineAction #uk

@2legged@mastodon.ie Well the govt wants to silence dissent against their complicity in genocide, which is why they abused their power to make #palestineaction a "terrorist group" in the first place. So it only makes sense they would focus on arresting those making the most noise. #LabourFriendsOfGenocide

"If you are using your microphone, you are more likely to be arrested under the #TerrorismAct", — warned a heroic officer of the #MetropolitanPolice in #London on Thursday. Luckily for Londoners, this microphone #terrorism was halted by prompt arrest of the #terrorist. I heard no mention of #PalestineAction. It seems that this was a crackdown on Microphone Action. And Karaoke. #MetPol keeps London safe from karaoke. Video via Tony Zimnoch https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DE6FdubUB/ #Palestine #DefendOurJuries

RE: https://mastodonapp.uk/@MarkHoltom/117024915318734449 Watching Andy Burnham disappoint us all on this as we knew he would. #PalestineAction #Terrorism #UKPol #UKPolitics #SirJonathonPorritt #Genocide #Protest

Sir Jonathon Porritt, advisor to King Charles III for 30 years before he was crowned, was arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday 30th July. As police escorted him away he said “I am a supporter of Palestine Action. Trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism.” The video has amassed millions of views on social media, with political and media figures outraged at the arrests of Sir Jonathon alongside 152 other peaceful protesters. They had been at the court because their names were listed for court hearings for 2025 “terrorism” arrests after holding pieces of paper in Parliament Square to oppose the proscription of direct action group Palestine Action. Saving lives is not terrorism.
