Jonathon Porritt, an eminent environmentalist, speaks to Al Jazeera after his arrest over supporting Palestine Action.
London, United Kingdom – Jonathon Porritt, a 75-year-old Oxford-educated environmentalist, is among the hundreds of people that the UK has cracked down on over their support of Palestine Action.
He was arrested and charged earlier this month, under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act, for holding up a sign at a rally decrying the government’s decision to outlaw the protest group.
“I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” read the cardboard placard that he, and many of the 520 others arrested, raised.
His bail hearing is scheduled for late October.
But Porritt is not a criminal.
