Demonstrations are scheduled to take place across the UK calling for the ban on Palestine Action to be reversed, amid police warnings that those showing support for the proscribed group face arrest, Al Jazeera reports.
Demonstrations will be held in Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Truro and London today, as part of a campaign coordinated by Defend Our Juries, which has already seen dozens arrested.
The Metropolitan Police said 70 people were arrested at similar demonstrations in Parliament Square over the past two weekends, while Defend Our Juries said a total of 120 had so far been arrested across the UK.
A high court hearing will take place on Monday, in which the co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, will ask for the green light to challenge the home secretary’s decision to ban the group under anti-terror laws.
