Protests: Dozens arrested at demo for Palestine Action in England
On the sidelines of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, more than 250 people are demonstrating against the ban on the pro-Palestinian group. They are hoping for support from the new prime minister.
More than 50 people were arrested by police in Liverpool, England, during protests against the ban on the group Palestine Action on the sidelines of the British Labour Party's conference. The protests, organized by Defend Our Juries, drew over 250 demonstrators who showed support for the group, which is classified as a terrorist organization in the UK.
Amnesty International criticized the arrests as a "shameful attack on freedom of expression". Palestine Action was banned as a terrorist group in July 2025 after activists broke into an airbase and painted Royal Air Force planes with paint.
