An 84-year-old retired priest was among a group arrested for allegedly expressing support for Palestine Action at a protest outside the Metropolitan Police headquarters.
Demonstrators held banners and placards outside the building in central London today, marking one year since the ban came into force.
Reverend Sue Parfitt, 84, was among the 14 protesters arrested by police outside Scotland Yard.
The retired Anglican priest and former nun from Henbury in Bristol was part of a group who voiced their support for the proscribed organisation.
She declared her support while standing on a soapbox with the message ‘I oppose genocide’ written on it.
