Defend Our Juries rejects home secretary’s call to abandon planned event after attack on synagogue in Manchester
Activists protesting against the ban on Palestine Action have said cancelling Saturday’s event would “let terror win”, amid pressure from police and the government to call it off after the terror attack in Manchester.
The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, added her voice on Friday to calls to postpone the event, after police said they wanted to be able to focus their resources on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, said that continuing protests after the attack “will likely create further tensions and some might say lacks sensitivity”.
