UK group announces ‘mass civil disobedience’ to defy Palestine Action ban
Defend Our Juries has announced plans to escalate its Lift the Ban on Palestine Action campaign before a High Court hearing on the group’s ban under UK “terror” laws.
The group said it will coordinate “mass civil disobedience” across Britain November 18-29, leading up to and during the judicial review hearing.
The group said a new pledge form launched today urges supporters to book time off and indicate where they plan to take action, promising protests “in key cities and towns” as well as “converging on London for the Judicial Review date”.
The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation” in July after activists sprayed two RAF Voyager aircraft with red paint in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza.
Supporting the group now carries a possible prison sentence of up to 14 years under the ban, which has been slammed by civil rights advocates as an assault on freedom of speech and the right to protest.
Defend Our Juries said arrests for defying the ban have reached 2,000 so far.
