  "account": "Robert Del Naja, better known as Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, was arrested in Liverpool on Saturday, September 26th while participating in a pro-Palestine protest outside the UK Labour Party's convention. According to Defend Our Juries, a UK civil rights organization, police arrested the musician while he was on a bridge holding a sign that read \"I oppose genocide I support Palestine Action.\" In the video shared by Defend Our Juries, Del Naja can be heard telling police officers, \"I don’t recognize the offense\" before an officer informs him that he has been arrested for supporting a terrorist organization. Defend Our Juries criticized the arrest, stating in a social media post that Labour Party leader Andy Burnham had previously praised Del Naja for his \"clarity and leadership\" when supporting the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty. Defend Our Juries also noted that over 200 protesters were arrested outside the Labour Party's convention, many of whom were shown supporting Palestine Action. This incident follows Del Naja's arrest in April at a similar protest in support of Palestine Action. Massive Attack has consistently shown support for Palestine throughout this year and last, with Del Naja and the band participating in various artist-led campaigns against Ed Sheeran for removing Macklemore from tour in response to his pro-Palestinian statements.",
