Amnesty International called the mass arrests “deeply concerning”.
“The protesters in Parliament Square were not inciting violence and it is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating them as terrorists,” said Sacha Deshmukh, the organisation’s chief executive.
“We have long criticised UK terrorism law for being excessively broad and vaguely worded and a threat to freedom of expression. These arrests demonstrate that our concerns were justified.”
Wait, the planes weren’t even damaged?? They just spray-painted them??? It would be bullshit to call it violence either way, but I assumed they sabotaged them in some way which I could at least see a fascist describing as a violent act, but Jesus Christ labeling an organization as violent and terrorist for one act of graffiti is truly beyond the pale.
