LONDON: Police officers detained 66 people on suspicion of supporting the banned Palestine Action during a protest outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Sunday.
Merseyside Police subsequently de-arrested two individuals, while 64 others were held in custody and have now been released on bail.
They were aged between 21 and 83 years old and were apprehended on suspicion of a terrorism offense.
The organizers of the protest, Defend Our Juries, said that around 100 individuals held signs reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” on Sunday afternoon outside the conference center.
In July, the UK government designated Palestine Action as a “terror organization” after the group took responsibility for damaging two Voyager planes at RAF Brize Norton base.
