UK Palestine Action ban to be met with 'biggest ever day of defiance'
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/campaigners-calling-lift-palestine-action-confirm-biggest-ever-day-defiance-following-seven(www.middleeasteye.net)Campaigners are organizing a large protest to defy the UK government's ban on the direct action group, Palestine Action. This planned "day of defiance" follows the arrest of seven key speakers from a solidarity group, Defend Our Juries, under the Terrorism Act. Over 1,000 people are reportedly ready to risk arrest for publicly supporting Palestine Action during the protest. The controversy stems from the UK's decision to proscribe the group due to its activities related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, with notable figures like George Monbiot and Ken Loach speaking out against the ban.
