Overview

• Defend Our Juries opened sign-ups for a London action on 6 September that will proceed only if 1,000 people formally pledge to attend.
• A briefing instructs participants to withhold personal details, refuse street bail and insist on station processing to secure immediate legal advice.
• Attendees are advised to remain in place until arrested and to "go floppy" rather than walk with officers, with plans for the protest to last indefinitely.
• At the most recent protest, the Metropolitan Police said 532 people were arrested, including 212 taken to police stations when they refused to give details.
• The ban on Palestine Action followed damage to two RAF Brize Norton aircraft; supporting the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act carrying up to 14 years, and a High Court challenge is due in the autumn.
