A total of 532 people were arrested in London at the largest demonstration relating to Palestine Action since the group was banned, the Metropolitan police have said.
Hundreds attended Saturday’s demonstration in Parliament Square, organised by the campaign group Defend Our Juries, which had asked participants to hold up signs saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
The majority of arrests – 522 – were for displaying an item in support of a proscribed organisation contrary to section 13 of the Terrorism Act.
