Pro-Palestine march planned in Oxford city centre today

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 13:08 · Archive

The Oxford Palestine Solidarity Campaign will march through Oxford at 12.30pm, part of coordinated protests in London and Edinburgh.

The Oxford Palestine Solidarity Campaign will march through Oxford at 12.30pm today, starting on Manzil Way and proceeding to the Clarendon Building. The protest is part of coordinated demonstrations taking place in London and Edinburgh, where some 400 protesters are expected to gather outside the US embassy in Nine Elms and another demonstration is scheduled at the US consulate near Holyrood in Edinburgh.

The protests are organised by Defend Our Juries and are staged in support of Palestine Action, a group that was proscribed under the Terrorism Act in June 2025. Defend Our Juries has stated that protesters will hold signs saying 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.' However, expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act.

The Metropolitan Police have issued a warning that anyone attending the protests in support of Palestine Action could be arrested, whether or not they are carrying placards. Commander Adam Slonecki from Scotland Yard stated: 'All those intending on coming to this event know that supporting a proscribed organisation is unlawful – they are essentially meeting to purposefully commit a crime.'

The protests are taking place ahead of an appeal at the Supreme Court against Palestine Action's designation as a terror group, scheduled for November 4.
