94yo British Jewish human right lawyer refuses to back down during a protest against Palestine Action proscription
Margaret Owen OBE refutes police pleas to abandon the protest or give up her sign reading ‘I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.’
Support for PA is currently illegal in the UK under section 13 of the amended Terrorism Act 2003, carrying a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison. The group founder is currently fighting the proscription in court, supported by advocacy groups. The organisers of the sit ins are Defend our Juries.
