  "account": "Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack was arrested on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation prior to the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool. The singer was detained on Saturday after holding a sign that read: \"I OPPOSE GENOCIDE, I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION.\" Del Naja can be heard in video footage stating that he \"doesn't recognise the offence\" before being arrested by police. This arrest follows a previous detainment in April.\n\nThe incident comes after Del Naja published a statement with Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori and human rights barrister Michael Mansfield. In the message, they urged UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham to de-proscribe Palestine Action. They stated, \"Prime minister, we don't believe that you believe that these citizens are terrorists,\" referring to the hundreds arrested for supporting the proscribed group.\n\nDel Naja and Burnham were photographed together last year supporting the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, where Burnham commended the musician's \"clarity and leadership.\" On Sunday, hundreds are expected to participate in a protest with a silent sign-holding vigil coinciding with the start of the Labour Party's conference.",
