Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja arrested at London Palestine Action protest

Robert Del Naja, the frontman of the British band Massive Attack, was arrested in central London on suspicion of supporting a banned organization. The arrest occurred after he attended a large protest against the prohibition of Palestine Action. Known artistically as "3D," Del Naja has consistently criticized British foreign policy, actively opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq and using his platform to denounce the situation in Palestine. He is among 500 people detained during the demonstration. Del Naja defended his actions by stating, "What more patriotism can you ask for?" He argued that Palestine Action's activities protect the country from involvement in serious war crimes and violations of international law. The musician has been a vocal opponent of what he calls genocide in Gaza. His arrest highlights ongoing tensions around pro-Palestinian activism in the UK. The protest took place on Saturday, drawing significant attention to the banned group's cause.
