Video: Bristol police detain 11yo girl for protesting against genocide

Police state over-reach plumbs even greater depths as child targeted

Police in Bristol detained an 11-year-old girl for protesting against Israel’s genocide in Gaza yesterday:

The victim was eventually released without charge but only after concerted protests from onlookers and family.

The Starmer police state plumbs new depths with the targeting of children despite a High Coyrt judge’s repeated rulings that pro-Palestine protest is a right under British law and his description of police who use the proscription of Palestine Action as an excuse to harass and arrest ordinary anti-genocide protesters as completely ignorant of the law.

Despite the rulings, no police force has said it will stop doing so.
