Stop the War Condemns Further Repression of Palestine MovementFive of Defend Our Juries’ key spokespeople have been arrested ahead of Saturday’s protest for Palestine. This morning counter-terrorism police raided the homes of five of Defend Our Juries’ key spokespeople, taking them into custody under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Stop the war condemns this assault on the Palestine movement and the democratic right to protest. This attack marks the latest in a dystopian trend of increased state repression targeting the leaders of peaceful protest movements supporting Palestine. On the January 18th national Gaza demonstration Stop the War Vice-Chair Chris Nineham was violently arrested and taken into custody, and Palestine Solidarity Campaign Director Ben Jamal was charged the following day.
