Police arrested over 200 people in central London during a demonstration supporting the banned group Palestine Action. The protest, organised by Defend Our Juries, saw hundreds gather in Parliament Square, with many holding placards and remaining silent. Officers made arrests for showing support for the proscribed organisation and for assaulting police, escorting detainees to processing points and custody suites. The Metropolitan Police stated that those bailed were prohibited from attending further protests related to Palestine Action. The demonstration included singing, placard displays, and some confrontations, as onlookers reacted to the arrests. Membership or support for Palestine Action is a criminal offence, and recent charges have been brought against individuals under the Terrorism Act. The Home Office reiterated that the ban targets the group specifically, not broader protest rights.
