'Lift The Ban Protest' Takes Place Outside The Ministry of Justice In London by Martin Pope / SOPA Images
Protesters held signs in support of Palestine Action in defiance of the Terrorism Act outside The Ministry of Justice in London, organized by campaign group Defend Our Juries. They have planned a wave of demonstrations and protest actions to take place across the UK leading up to and during the judicial review on the proscription of Palestine Action (PA) as a terrorist group. Last month the Home Office lost an appeal to block the review, which is set to be heard November 25-27. The ban on membership or support of PA came into effect on July 5, after activists from the pro-Palestinian group broke into RAF Brize Norton and spray-painted two Voyager aircraft. Since their proscription, more than 2,000 people have been arrested for allegedly showing support for PA, mostly while holding signs reading: "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action." Images).
