Nationwide demonstrations are set to take place across 18 towns and cities in the United Kingdom this November, as Defend Our Juries calls for an end to the ban on Palestine Action. Organizers expect around 1,500 participants, protesting the government's decision to outlaw the group and the subsequent arrests of over 2,000 people, some of whom are now in prison and planning hunger strikes. Protesters have faced varying police responses, with many detained for displaying placards supporting Palestine Action and opposing genocide. The ban followed alleged attacks on military and defense sites, leading to high-profile trials and legal challenges, including a lawsuit against the former Home Secretary. The demonstrations highlight ongoing public opposition to the government's stance and concerns over freedom of protest in the United Kingdom.
