🚨 SIGN OUR LETTER: http://amn.st/6180fIeA8 Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square on Saturday for peaceful protest against ban of Palestine Action When the Government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong here in the UK. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right. People are understandably outraged by the ongoing genocide being committed in Gaza and are entitled under international human rights law to express their horror. Amnesty has long criticised UK terrorism law for being excessively broad, vaguely worded and a threat to freedom of expression. Scenes on Saturday were a shocking demonstration of how the UK's overly broad terrorism laws are being used to suppress free speech. Any restriction on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly must be lawful, necessary and proportionate to achieving a legitimate aim. Criminalising speech in this context is only permitted when it incites violence or advocates hatred. Expressing support for Palestine Action does not, in itself, meet this threshold. The Met Police said 890 arrests were made: 857 arrests were for showing support for Palestine Action, while 33 were arrested for other offences, including 17 for assaults on police officers. Amnesty International deployed observers to the protest, and police claims that the protest turned violent are a misrepresentation. Our observers witnessed the Defend Our Juries protest being entirely peaceful. Some supporters of the protest shouted insults at the police and a small number of them attempted to prevent the police from carrying arrestees away. This did not appear to be a coordinated effort. Police officers, on a number of occasions, were aggressive towards supporters of the protest. This included violently shoving people away and pulling out batons to make space whilst protesters were arrested and hauled into police vans. 12/09/2025
