British pro-Palestine protester launches legal action against police

LONDON: A pro-Palestine protester in the UK who was threatened with arrest under the Terrorism Act is taking legal action against the police force involved in the incident, The Guardian reported on Friday. Laura Murton, 42, had held up a Palestinian flag and signs saying “Free Gaza” and “Israel is committing genocide” at her demonstration in the city of Canterbury last month. Armed police who responded to the protest told Murton that she had expressed support for Palestine Action, the group banned in July and listed as a terrorist organization.
