UK police arrest two pro-Palestine activists under organised crime laws
Lawyers denounce what is thought to be the first use of section 45 of the Serious Crime Act 2015 against protesters
Two men who supported a direct action protest by a pro-Palestine campaign at an arms factory have been arrested on suspicion of being part of an organised crime group.
Police swooped on the pair last week over the roles they played in a Palestine Action protest two months ago. It is believed to be the first use of organised crime laws against protesters in the UK.
