“MET POLICE FAILED TO FOLLOW INTERNAL GUIDELINES ON POLICING PALESTINE PROTESTS”

“It’s a legal right in the UK to criticise the government’s decision to ban a group and to call for de-proscription.
The MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] acknowledged this in its internal guidance from last July, the same document which says that holding a sign calling for de-proscription alone does not suggest membership of a proscribed organisation and that individuals have to actively express support for a proscribed group for this to be an offence.
The force has nevertheless repeatedly prevented protesters from exercising these rights, although it’s unclear just how many have been arrested for this”

Scottish man's Palestine Action terror charges dismissed - the trickle before the flood?
"In a healthy democracy, governments don't arrest people for holding paper signs."

Ams, a supporter of the Lift The Ban campaign, held a sign with the words “I still oppose genocide - I still support Palestine Action” for just a few minutes at the London event before being arrested after a pro-Israel onlooker reported the alleged ‘offence’. “I still think it’s outrageous and ridiculous that they’re arresting people for holding paper signs because, in a healthy democracy, governments don’t arrest people under terrorism laws for holding paper signs.” We’re mobilising for another mass sign-holding action to end the madness of arresting people for holding these totally non-offensive signs to oppose genocide. Join us on April 11th - Everyone Day - at a central London location. See www.EveryoneDay.uk for full details and info on how to get involved.

Met police failed to follow internal guidelines on policing Palestine protests

This is being interpreted by some as the Lord Advocate deciding that the UK maladministration will lose their appeal in the High Courts in London, and not wanting to be embarrassed in the Sheriffs Court.
More than 3000 people are awaiting trial across the UK after Labour’s dumb decision to rate PA on par with violent terrorist groups overseas.

Interactive #ProtestMap

"Our new interactive map reveals how many countries misuse police weapons such as rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, and batons to harass, intimidate, punish, or drive away protesters, shutting down their right to peaceful assembly. It also includes protest restrictions in the #UK.
"Our right to protest under threat across the world
"Authorities across the world are increasingly resorting to unlawful use of force and repressive legislation to crush protests. We have launched this interactive digital map to expose the shocking rise in the repression of protesters by states across the globe.
"This map shows how governments treat protests as a threat rather than a right and how law enforcement officials view their role as being to suppress and subdue protesters rather than to facilitate their rights. As a result, thousands of people are being unlawfully dispersed, arrested, beaten and even killed during demonstrations. They also face devastating consequences afterwards, just for participating in protests.
"In the UK, police have made over 2100 arrests under the #TerrorismAct 2000 for peacefully protesting the banning of #PalestineAction in the UK. It is a violation of the UK’s international obligations. And it simply can’t go unchallenged."
Spotlight on the #USA:
"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY IS IN DANGER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
- Protest is treated as a threat
- Unlawful force is used against protesters and less-lethal weapons are misused
- Militarization takes place"

#RightToProtest is under attack in #England and #Wales, reports warn
#HumanRightsWatch and Justice say recent legislative changes have had a chilling effect and should be repealed

"The right to protest is under attack in England and Wales with laws trampling over human rights protections and more oppressive restrictions in the pipeline, two major reports have warned.
"Both Human Rights Watch and the cross-party law reform organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed. Their reports, simultaneously published on Thursday, also say that proposals for more curbs should be halted.
"They highlight the arrest of Republic #AntiMonarchy protesters during King Charles’s coronation, charges and arrests of #ProPalestinian demonstrators and long sentences for #ClimateProtesters as examples of the crackdown on the right to peaceful dissent.
"Fiona Rutherford, chief executive of Justice, said: 'Year by year, we see police powers grow, as our fundamental right to protest is treated more like a privilege. The law in this area has become dangerously unbalanced, empowering the state to silence voices it should be safeguarding. Reversing this trend is essential to restoring trust, protecting rights and preserving a healthy democracy.'
"Lydia Gall, a senior Europe and Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, said: 'The UK is now adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. The UK should oppose such measures, not replicate and endorse them.'
"Both reports say that the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the #PublicOrderAct 2023 were watershed moments, criminalising large amounts of previously lawful protest activity and placing a greater emphasis on preemptive containment of protest through criminal law.
The 2022 law granted police authority to impose conditions on public assemblies on grounds such as causing 'serious unease' or being 'too noisy', described by Human Rights Watch as 'vague and subjective'.
"Members of the public can be arrested for carrying items – described as innocuous by Justice – including cable ties, bike locks or glue, on suspicion that they may be used for 'locking‑on'."
