The Aporia · ‘Stop arming Israel’: Pro-Palestine protesters march on Labour conference

Pro-Palestine activists demonstrated at the Labour party's annual conference in Liverpool, demanding that the UK cease selling weapons to Israel and implement additional sanctions against the country. Despite Labour's existing sanctions on Israeli settlements, protesters argue these actions are insufficient. The march highlights growing pressure within the UK for stricter measures related to Israel.

Story summary

On Sunday during the Labour Party conference in Liverpool led by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, over 250 pro-Palestine protesters gathered to show support for Palestine Action, a group banned as "terrorist" since July 2025. The protest included demonstrators holding homemade banners reading “I support Palestine Action,” and chanting slogans like "free, free Palestine." Prominent figures such as Robert Del Naja from the band Massive Attack and 94-year-old human rights barrister Margaret Owen were among those arrested by police under the Terrorism Act for displaying banned group materials. Over 3,600 people have been arrested since the ban was implemented due to similar protests. Amnesty International UK’s chief executive Kerry Moscogiuri criticized the arrests as a "shameful attack on free speech," calling for reforms that protect communities' right to demonstrate peacefully.
