In London, brave police arrested 365 of these 700 terrorists who gathered in Parliament Square in support of The Anti-Genocide Organisation Which Must Not Be Named. #TAGOWMNBN

These hero cops have saved millions of Londoners from the trauma of knowing that a few hundred nicely-behaved people are peacefully expressing a view which not everyone agrees with. Phew!

Arrests made in #ParliamentSquare as pro-#PalestineAction protests held across #UK

Dozens of #protesters assembled in central #London on Saturday afternoon

Sami Quadri, Megan Howe, July 19, 2025

"Fifty-five people have been arrested for displaying #placards in support of proscribed group Palestine Action, Met Police has said.

"Demonstrations are taking place in cities including London, #Manchester, #Edinburgh, #Bristol and #Truro after the group was officially proscribed as a terrorist organisation two weeks ago.

"Dozens of protesters assembled in Parliament Square on Saturday afternoon holding white placards that read: 'I oppose #genocide, I support Palestine Action.'

"Some demonstrators were led away in handcuffs, while others were carried off by officers. In a post on X, the Metropolitan Police said: 'Officers have moved in and arrests are taking place.'

"Police said the 55 people arrested were arrested under Section 13 of the #TerrorismAct 2000.

"The Met had previously said around 70 people were arrested at similar protests in Parliament Square over the past two weekends.

"#DefendOurJuries, the group coordinating the campaign, claims a total of 120 people have now been arrested across the UK.

"The force warned that anyone expressing support for Palestine Action was likely to be arrested, adding that officers were also monitoring for chants such as 'death to the #IDF', led by punk-rap duo #BobVylan at #GlastonburyFestival.

"The ban, under the #TerrorismAct2000, makes it a criminal offence to be a member of or show support for the group — with a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison. Wearing a badge or #TShirt bearing the group’s name now carries a potential six-month jail term.

"Palestine Action co-founder #HudaAmmori is seeking to challenge the ban, with a hearing to determine whether a judicial review can proceed set to take place at the High Court on Monday."

Met warns against supporting proscribed groups ahead of #London #protests

Officers to monitor chants and conduct at #PalestineCoalition and counter-protests in Westminster

Joe Hadden
Friday 18 July 2025

"The Metropolitan Police has warned that anyone showing support for proscribed organisations during planned protests in London this weekend could face arrest under #terrorism laws.

"An increased police presence is expected in Westminster on Saturday when a number of demonstrations are due to take place, including a large-scale march by the Palestine Coalition and a static counter-protest by Stop the Hate.

"The Met said it also anticipates further protest activity in support of the recently proscribed group #PalestineAction, which is now banned under the #TerrorismAct.

"Seventy people were arrested at similar demonstrations in #ParliamentSquare over the past two weekends, and the location of any action this Saturday is yet to be confirmed.

"Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who is leading the policing operation, said officers are experienced in managing events of this nature but warned that those who use the protests as an opportunity to express support for proscribed groups risk serious legal consequences.

" 'This Saturday’s Palestine Coalition protest is the first large-scale event of its kind since the proscription of Palestine Action and I want to make sure the implications of that change in the law are fully understood,' he said.

" 'Nobody will be committing an offence by simply supporting the Palestinian cause, taking part in the march or carrying flags, banners or other signs providing they don’t stray into hate speech or other offences.

" 'However, those who see this as an opportunity to test the limits of the law by expressing support for Palestine Action, whether at a standalone protest or as part of the Palestine Coalition protest, will likely be committing an offence and will very likely be arrested.'

"He added: 'I would urge those people to consider the seriousness of being arrested under the Terrorism Act and the very real long-term implications – from travel, to employment, to finances – that such an arrest is likely to have for their future.'

"Mr Adelekan also said the force is continuing to investigate '#OffensiveChanting' that took place at #GlastonburyFestival and has been repeated at recent protests in London.

"He said officers would assess chants at Saturday’s protest 'based on the specific circumstances' – noting that words shouted generally during the march may not constitute an offence, but could do so if directed at individuals in a way likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

" 'At previous protests, the area between the main march and any counter protest has seen the most heated exchanges. Officers will be particularly alert to conduct, including chanting, in this area and will be working with stewards to ensure crowds keep moving past this point,' he said.

" 'Where they become aware of behaviour that crosses the line from protest into criminality they will intervene and take appropriate action.'

"He said the best way for protesters to stay within the law is to avoid 'threatening, abusive and insulting language' or any support for banned groups. [!!!]

"The Palestine Coalition march will begin at #VictoriaEmbankment and proceed via #WestminsterBridge, #YorkRoad, #WaterlooBridge, #TheStrand, and #Whitehall, where speeches will be held."

Police issue warning over #PalestineAction protests after group proscribed as terrorist organisation

Demonstrators expressing support for Palestine Action could be jailed for 14 years

"The police have warned protesters against demonstrating in favour of Palestine Action after it was proscribed as a terrorist group by the government.

"#Protesters are planning to gather in #ParliamentSquare on Saturday holding signs supporting Palestine Action, according to campaign group #DefendOurJuries.

"In a letter to Yvette Cooper, 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.'

"But, ahead of the planned demonstration, the Metropolitan Police said the proscription means expressing support for the group is now a criminal offence in the UK."

I didn't plan to cover this #TransRights protest on 19 April in #London's #ParliamentSquare, but just passing by on my way to something else, and with my camera in hand, I thought let me get at least one shot of the protest.

Shows how it's important to keep persevering. Helps that I have a great community that encourages and supports me in my work. So thank you to you all who help me realise it's worthwhile to be a witness.

So glad I went to the trans rights demo on Saturday. Great atmosphere (a real sense of a community and its allies coming together). Huge crowds. It was arranged at short notice but there were many thousands of us!

I almost didn’t go as I hate crowds, my mental health isn’t great and I’m cynical about what difference these things make.

#UK - #GuerillaGardening: how you can make your local area greener without getting into trouble

Published: October 4, 2023

Excerpt: "Can you be prosecuted?

"It’s important to remember that much of the unused or abandoned land that is potentially suitable for guerilla gardening in towns and cities throughout the UK is owned by local councils. Common examples of such locations include broken pavements with missing slabs, wasteland and the central areas of roundabouts.

"Although much of this land is already open for the public to walk over, actively gardening on it would become an act of trespass.

"The law of trespass sounds scary. However, gardening on this land would be a breach of civil law rather than a crime. This means that most guerrilla gardeners are unlikely to receive a fine or a criminal record.

"Landowners do have the legal right to use 'reasonable force' to remove trespassers from their land. But, fortunately, it seems most councils have ignored guerrilla gardeners, having neither the time, money or inclination to bring legal action against them.

"Colchester Council, for example, were unable to track down the identity of the '#HumanShrub', a mysterious #EcoActivist who restored the flowers in the city’s abandoned plant containers in 2009. The shrub returned again in 2015 and sent a gift of seeds to a local councillor.

"In other areas of the UK, the work of guerilla gardeners has been cautiously welcomed by local councils. In Salford, a city in Greater Manchester, there is a formal requirement to submit an application and obtain permission to grow on vacant spots in the city. But the local authority tends not to interfere with illegal grow sites.

"There seems to be an unwritten acceptance that people can garden wherever they want, given the abundance of available space and the lack of active maintenance. This also offers the additional advantage of saving both time and money for the local council.

"You should still be careful about where you trespass though. In some areas, guerrilla gardening can lead to unwelcome attention. During the #MayDayRiots of 2000, for example, guerrilla gardeners were accused of planting #cannabis seeds in central #London’s #ParliamentSquare.

"Gardening at night may draw the wrong attention too, particularly if you are carrying gardening tools that might be misunderstood by the police as threatening weapons."
