Police in England and Wales arrested more than 140 people on Tuesday, the first day of coordinated protests against the UK government’s proscription of the direct action group Palestine Action.

No arrests were made at parallel events in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In each location, protesters staged sit-downs, holding signs that read, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine.”

The group, Defend Our Juries (DOJ), which organised the protests, said an estimated 142 people were arrested on Tuesday, with more actions scheduled to take place this week ahead of the planned judicial review into the ban on Palestine Action on 24 November.
