In U-turn, UK police say Palestine Action protesters will be arrested again - Lemmy

London’s Metropolitan Police warns that anyone showing support for Palestine Action is now “likely to be arrested”, weeks after the force said it would not do so. Police had said in February that it would refrain from arresting supporters following the High Court’s ruling that the ban on Palestine Action as a terror group was unlawful.

The public and the police still await the law to be updated. Meanwhile we are still criminals for protesting. Do be careful. I am not a lawyer, but hopefully if we are arrested (again), then the police will be able to catch & release with CPS far less likely to pursue an action that will not be in the public interest and in any event challenged at cost to the public purse and reputation.
