Palestine Action has announced a training day for new recruits this weekend in Manchester , with sessions in Birmingham and Leeds to follow.

Seven members of Palestine Action were given suspended prison sentences in March .

They caused thousands of pounds ’ worth of damage to equipment and spray-painted messages such as “Free Palestine” and “ Shut Elbit Down ” on the walls and windows.
