Police have failed to arrest supporters of the banned group Palestine Action as 11 activists sat holding signs for 60 minutes without being detained.
Protests were held in both Totnes and Edinburgh today as part of a campaign opposing the proscription of the direct action organisation.
But despite more than 100 arrests last week and 200 total arrests since the ban came into force on July 5, protesters today were allowed to hold their signs.
It marked a stark contrast to last week when rallies were held in London, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and Truro where activists were physically carried away and detained by police amid shouts of 'fascist' and 'Starmer's project of fear has failed'.
The ban on Palestine Action means membership of or support for the direct action group is now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, under the Terrorism Act 2000.
