The Quaccheri condemns met the police raid as you are arrested in the Westminster meeting house

THE Quaccheri in Great Britain The group condemned the arrests of six Youth request supporters of more than 30 police officers.

The arrests were the first “in living memory” to occur in a Quacchera meeting house, said the salesman for the Paul Parker group, after the officers detained supporters of the youth request at 19:30 in Westminster Thursday.

“This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the strong removal of young people who keep a group of protest group clearly shows what happens when a society criminalize the protest,” he said.

“Freedom of speech, the assembly and fried processes are an essential part of the free public debate which is the basis of democracy”.

The prisoners were arrested for suspicion of conspiracy to cause public discomfort, said the police. The question of young people said that the meeting was held to “share non -violent civil resistance actions” scheduled for April.

Met police said that the group intended to “close” London in April using tactics including “swarm” and road blocks “. The police said he had the “responsibility to intervene” because protests threatened to cause “serious interruptions and other crime”.

The houses were also raided during Thursday and Friday operation, added the demand for young people.

In a declaration, the Quaccheri in Great Britain said: “The Quaccheri support the right to non -violent public protest, acting by a profound moral imperative to oppose the injustice and our planet.

“Many have embarked on a non -violent direct action over the centuries from the abolition of slavery to the suffrage of women and the prison reform.”

The request for youth, the “resistance campaign to young self -hidden young people who struggle for the end of genocide”, began to perform acts of civil disobedience last year.

He asks the government to stop all the trade with Israel and raise funds from the super rich and fossil fuels “to pay damage for the impacts of the combustion of fossil fuels.

In April last year, the group hung a banner and put files of children’s shoes outside the house of Sir Keir Starmer, after which three 20 -year -old people were issued sentences in suspended prison.

Further arrests were carried out last July after the group announced the intention to stop the opening of the state of Parliament.

Met Police said: “While we absolutely recognize the importance of the right to protest, we have the responsibility to intervene to prevent the activity that crosses the line from the protest in serious interruptions and other crime.

“Thursday 29 March the agents broke into a planning meeting of the demand for young people to a speech in Westminster, where those present were planning their April actions.

“Six people were arrested for suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public discomfort. Five of the arrested on Thursday were released on a deposit and one will not have to face further actions.
