Police detained demonstrators for supporting a banned activist group outside the Labour conference.
More than 50 people were arrested outside the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool on Sunday. Merseyside Police said they detained individuals at a rally supporting Palestine Action, a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the government in July 2025 under the Terrorism Act.
Over 250 demonstrators, many holding homemade banners reading 'I support Palestine Action', had gathered outside the conference centre. Police warned the protesters they were illegally displaying material supporting a proscribed group, asked if they would stop, and then began leading people away, informing them they were under arrest.
Amnesty International UK condemned the arrests, calling them a "shameful attack on freedom of speech." The group's chief executive, Kerry Moscogiuri, said the arrests targeted a wide range of people and questioned whether new Prime Minister Andy Burnham would reform protest laws.
One of those detained was 94-year-old human rights barrister Margaret Owen, according to BBC News. Protesters told Al Jazeera that being arrested was minor compared to suffering in Gaza and was a necessary stand for free speech.
The protest was organised by the group Defend Our Juries, which issued a statement calling the proscription of Palestine Action "illogical, unsustainable and immoral" and urging the new Prime Minister to reverse the ban. The Supreme Court is set to review the proscription.
Al Jazeera reported that activists separately confronted Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband inside a Liverpool restaurant, demanding he lift the ban and declare a genocide in Gaza, before leaving when he reportedly refused to comment. Since the group was outlawed, more than 3,600 people have been arrested for showing support, often by holding signs opposing genocide.
