Police treating Palestine flags as terror offences again - despite judge's clear ruling
A woman was grabbed and painfully held by police - for carrying a Palestine flag. All images and footage by Gerry Tasker for Skwawkbox unless otherwise indicated.
Police - including some drafted in from Wales - have arrested more than fifty people during a peaceful anti-genocide protest at Parliament Square in London.
While some were carrying signs supporting Palestine Action - banned by the Starmer regime in a move driven by Israeli lobby groups - others were painfully seized and detained or carted off for just holding Palestine flags, as police continue to misapply the unfit Terrorism Act despite a judge's clear ruling (twice) that flags and other expressions of solidarity with Palestinians are lawful and a right that must not be inhibited by police.
Skwawkbox's London cameraman Gerry Tasker was at the demo to record some of the arrests and detentions:
