"An 83-year-old retired priest has been arrested for defying a newly enforced ban on pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, just hours after the group was formally outlawed by the UK government.

"The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription."

what /is/ the plan for those arrested for standing with palestine action? are they going to be charging an elderly vicar (who's no stranger to direct action. go, sue parfitt!) with terrorism just to save face? they can't bail them, can they, if they're suspected terrorists?
