Defend Our Juries said they expect varying responses from police forces across the country. During the last round of protests in early October, a number of forces, including those in Devon and Cornwall, Edinburgh, Derry, Totness and Kendal, chose not to make arrests.

“What we’ve come to understand over the course of these protests is that there is a political element to the policing,” Dolphin said, describing Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley’s approach as “masochistic”.

“Rowley has thrown huge amounts of resources at arresting every single person,” Dolphin said.

“We’ve seen officers from all across the country coming down to London to carry out arrests on behalf of the Met police.”

Alongside the sign-holding actions, Prisoners for Palestine (PFP) announced that prisoners held on remand for alleged offences relating to Palestine Action activities will launch a rolling hunger strike on 2 November, over what they describe as “systematic abuse” by prison authorities.

The group said that they had “no other choice” after a letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood outlining their demands, including immediate bail and an end to prison interference with their personal communications, went “unanswered and ignored”.

Francesca Nadin, a former prisoner and PFP campaigner, said that all Palestine Action-linked prisoners are “suffering from constant censorship” by prison authorities, with restrictions placed on their calls and “hundreds” of their personal letters reported to have “gone missing”.
