🚨 BREAKING - FIVE Lift The Ban key spokespeople arrested in dawn raids. Arrested for addressing Open Calls during which legal information on the risks of opposing Labour’s absurd ban on Palestine Action have been shared. Video: Paddy Friend, a law student, arrested at home.
This is so monumentally stupid. It's just going to make everyone more determined.
The arresting officer says he is under arrest for “encouraging support for Palestine action”. Which is something the DOJ campaign EXPLICITLY does not do. They’re not going to get this fella to court on nonsense like this are they? It’s just intimidation

The raids come just hours before an important press conference was due to take place, where the Lift The Ban campaign were to confirm over 1,000 commitments have been made and that Saturday’s action will go ahead. The opposition to the ban on Palestine Action is unstoppable.
Our Open Calls will still take place this week, Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm. No arrests have taken place for attending an open call, and none of today’s arrests relate to holding signs. Nobody has been raided for holding a sign in London. Sign up: wedonotcomply.org
