    RT @The_NewArab: “What kind of complete madness is it to charge someone with terrorism and then put him on a bus with other people?” A man arrested on terror charges for supporting Palestine Action was transported by police on a public London bus while it was operating its usual route. Blind and a wheelchair user, Mike Higgins was reportedly difficult for police to transport because his wheelchair would not fit on standard police ramps, Defend Our Juries told The New Arab.

    The banning of Palestine Action has led to a "crisis in confidence" in the UK's anti-terrorism laws and triggered unprecedented civil disobedience from law-abiding protesters. But it's precisely why these laws were written that way in the first place.

    To be clear, nobody here is asking the Met to arrest Sarah Helm. Nobody should be arrested for supporting Palestine Action because Palestine Action is not, in any sensible or honest person's mind, a terrorist organisation.

    "You don’t have to be a genius, really, to work out what’s going on here.” On Wednesday, the last possible legal challenge on British soil of Palestine Action’s proscription began at the supreme court. Dozens of protesters were arrested for holding signs quoting the author Sarah Helm, wife of the prime minister’s national security advisor Jonathan Powell. That’s despite the fact that the Met police chose not to take action against Helm, exposing a glaring double standard. Novara Media’s @harriepw reports from London.
