Protesters at the next mass demonstration against the ban on Palestine Action will withhold their details from officers to force en-masse processing at police stations in an effort to make it “practically impossible” to arrest everyone.

On Friday, Defend Our Juries, the pressure group behind the protests, will open sign-ups for its next demonstration to be held in London on 6 September. The group said it would only go ahead if 1,000 people agreed to take part, making it the largest protest opposing the proscription of Palestine Action since it was banned in June. More than 2,500 people have already expressed interest in taking part.

Earlier this month, 532 people were arrested at the largest demonstration so far relating to Palestine Action since it was proscribed. The Met said 212 of those arrested were transported to police stations after either refusing to provide their details or having been found to already be on bail.
