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 connection with supporting Palestine Action, the campaign group proscribed in the UK. The arrest of such an elderly figure, and one with a lifelong human rights career, has drawn widespread attention and debate over the policing of pro-Palestinian activism and the scope of anti-terror laws applied to supporters of the group.
Why now: The advanced age and human rights background of the person arrested make this a striking symbol in the ongoing debate over UK crackdowns on Palestine Action support.
