London police detained more than 200 protesters during a demonstration against the government’s ban on Palestine Action, a group labelled a terrorist organisation. Despite a High Court ruling declaring the ban unlawful, it remains in place pending appeal.
The Metropolitan Police arrested 474 people during London’s largest protest supporting banned group Palestine Action. Most were detained under terrorism laws, sparking criticism from rights groups who called the crackdown disproportionate. The ban carries penalties of up to 14 years’ imprisonment.
