Protesters are planning to gather in support of Palestine Action despite the government's proscription of the group as a terrorist organization. The Metropolitan Police have stated that expressing support for Palestine Action now constitutes a criminal offense. Protesters expressed their concerns in a letter, asserting a refusal to be silenced. The police have indicated they will act against any individuals expressing support through various means, including chants, clothing, or displays associated with the proscribed organization.
The police have warned protesters against demonstrating in favour of Palestine Action after it was proscribed as a terrorist group by the government.
The Metropolitan Police said the proscription means expressing support for the group is now a criminal offence in the UK.
Protesters said: 'We do not wish to go to prison or to be branded with a terrorism conviction. But we refuse to be cowed into silence by your order.'
The Met said it is an offence to invite or express support for a proscribed organisation through chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos.
