Overview
- Metropolitan Police said at least 90 people were detained at a silent Defend Our Juries protest in Tavistock Square for expressing support for the proscribed group.
- Counter Terrorism Policing in London has charged 254 suspects since July for alleged support offences, with court appearances scheduled between 29 November and 9 December.
- In Belfast and Derry/Londonderry, PSNI observed similar rallies without making Terrorism Act arrests and will review recorded footage for potential offences; a separate common assault arrest was made elsewhere in Belfast.
- Police used Public Order Act conditions to move a demonstration away from St John’s Wood Synagogue and confirmed two arrests linked to the event, including for failing to comply with conditions and a racially aggravated public order offence.
- Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori’s legal challenge to the proscription is due in court next week, as the Home Office reiterates that supporting Palestine is not the same as supporting a banned organisation.
