In the United Kingdom, two leaders of the Palestine solidarity movement have been found guilty of failing to march within a designated area set by police during a massive pro-Palestine demonstration in London last year. Ben Jamal of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Chris Nineham of the Stop the War Coalition said they would appeal against the convictions. In a statement, Human Rights Watch said the verdict was intended to intimidate and silence dissenting voices to the U.K.'s ongoing support for the Israeli government's war crimes.
