UK police detain activist distressed by Gaza genocide
British police arrested nearly 160 people, including an activist and a 94-year-old elderly woman, during a silent sit-in outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The protest was against silence and genocide in Gaza, and supporters of the "Palestine Action" movement, which the government considers a banned organization. The protesters held banners expressing their support, while police pledged to pursue anyone carrying or wearing items that support the organization. Authorities explained that the arrests were made due to suspected support for a banned organization, noting that a musician and member of a band was recently detained after displaying the same banner. These protests come after the government’s decision to classify the movement as a terrorist organization, leading to the detention of thousands of its supporters since July 2025.
