100+ pensioners arrested for protesting outside Starmer’s conference

Keir Starmer’s war on anti-genocide protest and free speech continued on Sunday 28 September with the arrest of more than a hundred peaceful protesters outside Labour’s waterfront party conference venue.

The Starmer regime continues to misuse anti-terror legislation to harass, raid, arrest and even prosecute journalists and activists who speak out against Israel’s crimes, including recent arrests of well over a thousand people, mostly older and disabled ones, for peacefully holding placards opposing Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the government’s Israel-driven decision to classify a non-violent direct action group as terrorists.

Twenty-three people were arrested at the recent 150,000-strong and widely violent far-right protest in London.

And today in Liverpool, more than a hundred people – again mostly older and disabled people – were arrested at the Labour conference for peacefully holding up placards opposing Starmer’s Israel-driven decision to ban, as a terrorist group, Palestine Action, a non-violent direct action group that targeted Israeli-owned or -linked weapons factories:

A hundred-plus arrests out of some hundreds of demonstrators – versus twenty-tree out of 150,000 racists, many of whom were violent and even more of whom chanted hate speech – all to protect the genocidal coloniser from the consequences of its own actions.

Starmer’s Britain.
