Arrests made at rally against Palestine Action ban in London

At least 150 people have been arrested at an ongoing demonstration against the government’s ban of the campaign group Palestine Action.

Hundreds gathered in Parliament Square in central London, some waving Palestinian flags and chanting “free Palestine”. Others held placards saying: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

The Metropolitan Police said arrests had been made for a range of offences, including expressing support for a proscribed organisation and for assaulting a police officer.
