Overview

• Jeremy Shippam, 72, Judit Murray, 71, and Fiona Maclean, 53, entered not guilty pleas at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to section 13 charges linked to a July 5 Parliament Square protest.
• Prosecutors allege the trio displayed placards stating, “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” which is said to arouse reasonable suspicion of support for a proscribed organisation.
• Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring granted unconditional bail, listing a three‑day trial for March 16–18 and setting a review and case‑management hearing for October 9.
• The Home Office says it will appeal a High Court ruling that allowed co‑founder Huda Ammori to pursue a judicial review challenging the ban.
• Palestine Action was banned in July after it claimed damage to two RAF Voyager aircraft on June 20, making membership or support a criminal offense, and supporters gathered outside court as protests continue.
