Merseyside Police left the scene outside the Labour Party Conference at around 5am on Monday, following a 16-hour standoff in which more than 150 people were arrested on terrorism charges. According to the group Defend Our Juries, those detained were still displaying their signs described as 'terrorist' when police withdrew. The mass arrests and the standoff are drawing attention to the policing of protest at the conference.
