Jewish human rights barrister, 94, arrested over Palestine Action support
Original: Jewish human rights barrister, 94, arrested for supporting Palestine Action
A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action, the proscribed direct-action group. The arrest of such an elderly, prominent figure has drawn significant attention, with many questioning the breadth of UK terrorism legislation that makes expressing support for the group a criminal offence.
Why now: The striking age and human rights background of the detainee have reignited debate over the UK's ban on Palestine Action and treatment of its supporters.
