The organisers of a protest in support of banned terror group Palestine Action have refused a plea by Scotland Yard to call it off in the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack. Hundreds of people have said they will attend a demonstration in Trafalgar Square in London on Saturday in support of the group, which has been banned by the government as a terrorist organisation. Defend Our Juries, who organised the demonstration, said the protest “will go ahead as planned”, PA Media reports. In a letter of response to Scotland Yard, it said: “The protection of our democracy and the prevention of countless deaths are critical issues. Therefore, our protest will go ahead as planned for this Saturday. “We urge you, therefore, to choose to prioritise protecting the community, rather than arresting those peacefully holding signs in opposition to the absurd and draconian ban of a domestic direct action group. “We hope you make the right choice to not arrest those taking part, and correctly deploy counter-terrorism resources this weekend.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2025/oct/02/police-reports-stabbing-synagogue-greater-manchester-live?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-68dedf9d8f08e601ab9b7e2d#block-68dedf9d8f08e601ab9b7e2d
