To mark the anniversary of the very first action, and to protest the Court of Appeal’s decision to overturn an earlier ruling that the Yvette Cooper’s decision had been unlawful, a small group of protesters gathered at New Scotland Yard and one by one announced that they were ‘members’ (not just supporters) of Palestine Action, and that they “encouraged others to join” too. For making these statements, fourteen people, including 84 year-old Reverend Sue Parfitt were arrested under Section 12 of the Act – which carries a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
