Activists Decry UK's 'Intimidation Tactics' Against Pro-Palestine Advocates
Two young women linked to Palestine Action have been arrested in the UK in the span of a week, sparking concerns over the government's crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.
A growing number of pro-Palestine activists in the UK have accused the government of employing intimidation tactics to silence their voices. In the past week alone, two young women linked to the activist group Palestine Action have been arrested, further fueling concerns over the authorities' crackdown on pro-Palestinian advocacy.
The latest incident occurred when 23-year-old Huda Ammori was arrested at her home in Manchester on suspicion of criminal damage and conspiracy to commit criminal damage. This came just days after 22-year-old Lauren Hcorners was detained in a dawn raid at her residence in Bristol. Both women have since been released on bail, but the pattern of arrests has raised alarm bells within the pro-Palestine movement.
