The full story

Dozens of activists gathered outside the US Consulate in Edinburgh to hold a vigil in support of Palestine Action, mirroring a similar demonstration outside the US embassy in London. Organised by Defend Our Juries, the protest targeted the US over alleged influence regarding the proscription of Palestine Action, as well as the US and UK governments' complicity in Gaza. Participants held placards stating opposition to genocide and support for Palestine Action. Organisers criticised the ban as a violation of free expression ahead of an upcoming Supreme Court appeal. Police Scotland confirmed that officers attended the planned event and that no arrests were made at the scene, though inquiries remain ongoing regarding banners and T-shirts supporting a proscribed organisation.
