London’s Metropolitan Police warns that anyone showing support for Palestine Action is now “likely to be arrested”, weeks after the force said it would not do so.

Police had said in February that it would refrain from arresting supporters following the High Court’s ruling that the ban on Palestine Action as a terror group was unlawful.

    Honest question, is there a distinction that law enforcement make when identifying PA supporters vs people that are supporting protest in regards to the current war? ie. Is it clear when protests or gatherings are organised by PA or is this just muddying the waters for any form of peaceful and non-vandalism or trespassing protest on the topic.
