Protest tomorrow against Labour’s planned Palestine Action ban

Starmer’s police state plans now include ban on action against genocide while he continues to support slaughter of Palestinians and unprovoked war on Iran

Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper are bringing a plan to Parliament tomorrow to ban – ‘proscribe’ – Palestine Action, adding the anti-genocide civil disobedience group to the UK’s official list of terrorist organisations alongside the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda for trying to prevent Israel’s slaughter of innocent Palestinian civilians and making it a criminal offence to show or encourage ‘support’ for it.

The group and its supporters have called an emergency protest against the authoritarian plan tomorrow outside Parliament, staring from noon.

The proposed ban is a further escalation of the Starmer police state’s intensive ‘lawfare’ war on anti-genocide activism and journalism, in which the regime is colluding with Israel to misuse anti-terror laws, with potential prison sentences of up to fourteen years, against those who speak out for Palestinian lives and human rights and against Israel’s mass slaughter of almost 400,000 innocent civilians. Some PA activists are being held in prison for more than a year before they even come to trial, as the government tries to ‘make the process the punishment’.

If the ban is put in place it will then become illegal and punishable by long prison sentences, so those who can get there to try to prevent it should do so.
