On Saturday 19 July, police arrested nearly 100 more people under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”, bringing the number to around 200 since Palestine Action became a proscribed organisation on 5 July. Again the police were divided in their response, with common sense prevailing in Edinburgh, Derry, and outside the British Embassy in The Hague, where peaceful protestors were left undisturbed. By contrast, the Met Police arrested 55 in Parliament Square. 17 were arrested in Bristol, 16 in Manchester and 8 in Truro.
