Meanwhile, Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja, was one of over 500 protesters arrested in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday as part of Palestine Action protest. He was holding a sign that read “I Oppose Genocide, I Support Palestine Action.” Naja told the Associated Press earlier in the day, “Being a musician, obviously, there was a lot of trepidation around how we might not be able to travel and get visas,” adding, “But I thought ‘this is ridiculous’ and then the police making that U-turn to arrest people again, I thought that is even more ridiculous. So I’m going to hold a sign today. If I get arrested, I feel very confident that if I stand up in court with the right guidance and say, ‘This was an unlawful arrest and, therefore, I don’t accept it.”
