Tuesday briefing: What new plans to curb pro-Palestine Action demonstrations mean for our right to protest

In today’s newsletter: New home secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced proposals to further curtail pro-Palestine Action protests – but what do they mean, and will they work?

Good morning. In 2014, a backbench Labour MP named Shabana Mahmood lay on the floor of her local Sainsbury’s in protest against the sale of products made in illegal Israeli settlements. A week later, she spoke to crowds at a Free Palestine protest in Hyde Park, of the “compassion and humanity expressed for the people of Gaza … from every race and every religion.”

UK news | Neighbours of the Manchester synagogue attacker reported concerns to police about him and a family member being “radicalised” and attempting to “preach” the Qur’an to local children, the Guardian has been told.

Gaza | International activists, journalists and lawyers deported from Israel after attempting to breach the 16-year maritime blockade of Gaza as part of a humanitarian flotilla have alleged being subjected to brutal physical and verbal abuse by Israeli forces during their detention.

US news | The US supreme court has declined to hear an appeal from Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell of her sex trafficking conviction. Maxwell in 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and related crimes.

France | The country’s political crisis has deepened after the new prime minister dramatically resigned within hours of appointing a government. Sébastien Lecornu, the third prime minister in a year, quit hours before his first cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon.
