[Mitch McGivern]

PEACE campaigners in Wales united in fury today as police arrested 17 campaigners against the slaughter in Gaza and imposed bail conditions stopping their right to protest.

South Wales Police officers arrested a male protester, who was one of the organisers of the wave of protests sweeping Wales at a mass protest in Cardiff city centre this afternoon against the Israeli assault on Rafah.

According to eyewitnesses the police also tried to snatch a female protester, who is a leading figure in the pro-Palestinian protests, and officers were heard to say: “We have both of them.”
