Saturday 9th August will go down in history.

More than 500 people gathered in Parliament Square to openly defy the UK government’s proscription of Palestine Action – risking arrest under anti-terror laws simply for holding up signs.

This video offers a ground-level view of what happened, from the tense build-up to the unexpected police tactics.

You’ll hear from familiar faces some of whom took part: Welsh nurse Leigh Evans, who previously confronted Egyptian police near Rafah; The Artist Taxi Driver; Jonathan Coulter of CAMPAlGN; Jonathan Fluxman of IJAN and veteran Palestine activist Mick Napier, who walked from the UK to the West Bank to raise awareness.

Witness the arrests, the chants and the determination of protesters from all walks of life.

Was this the day the ban proved unenforceable? Decide for yourself in this unfiltered look at a protest that could reshape the fight for justice.
