Met, when the show started, said that 500 to 600 people predicted that they were in Parliament Square, but “many” did not participate.
The spokesperson for the defending of our juries said: “Today, the emergence of unprecedented numbers, the risk of arrest and possible imprisonment, showing how much people have been repelled about the ongoing guilt of our government in a living genocide and the lengths they are ready to defend the old freedoms of this country.”
“The police were only able to arrest some of those who committed ‘terrorism’ crimes, and most of them were given street bails and were allowed to go home. This is a great shame to Cooper, this is the reliability of this widely mocked law.”
The show started at 13:00, but the officers made a few arrests in advance. Shortly thereafter, the officers began to arrest people other than the green -retention signs referring to the Palestinian action. While a woman drifted by the police, she said, “All of you are arresting your loved ones, the wrong people. [pointing towards parliament]Arrest is a criminal partner in people’s genocide. “

The Palestinian action members said that the vandalism of shelf planes vandalism “protest, there is no terrorism”.
“These planes are terrorists. They continue and shoot and kill children,” he said.
Zoe, one of the participants, said, ım I have sufficiently experienced the secret agreement of our government in the genocide with hundreds of orders.
“You can hear Claps and here like a family -friendly environment. You have seen it with your own eyes. There is no peaceful and uncertain terrorist at the moment. We are ordinary peaceful people who say that we are opposed to genocide.”
He wore a big patch with the words “genocide Jews”. He said: “I am clearly and proudly to admit that other people are many Jews who do not support the genocide.”
Orum I hold a piece of paper for the love of goodness, this is not a terrorist act. A terrorist action is deliberately dying of 2 million hunger, ”he said. “I don’t know what to say [Palestinians]I’m so sorry you’ve come to that. I wish we could do more, but we’re trying the best. “
Officers called the bags of those arrested. In a backpack processed with blue judicial gloves, they revealed a milk carton full of bread and water.

The prohibition means that the membership or support of the Palestinian action is a criminal offense that can be sentenced to up to 14 years in accordance with the 2000 Law of Terrorism.
