Hundreds arrested in London after protesters defied ban on pro-Palestine group
The UK police have confirmed that 492 people were arrested during a silent sit-in at Trafalgar Square attended by about 1,000 people, where they held up signs that read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.
Organisers described it as one of the largest collective acts of defiance since the government announced a ban on the group.
Participants included Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Sikh protesters, who said they had come together to oppose the crackdown on pro-Palestine activism, according to a spokesperson from Defend Our Juries.
Palestine Action was recently proscribed as a “terrorist organisation” under the UK’s counterterror laws, after a string of high-profile actions that targeted arms factories and government contractors with red paint and blockades.
Under the proscription order, supporting the group can carry a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Shame on the British police, killing an innocent bystander in Manchester and arresting peaceful protestors.
British Jewish leaders condemn Israeli minister’s invitation to UK’s far-right figure
Leaders of the UK’s Jewish community have sharply condemned Israel’s decision to invite far-right figure Tommy Robinson to visit the country.
Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for diaspora and combating anti-Semitism, announced that he was “proud to host” Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, later this month.
In a joint statement, the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council swiftly criticised the move, describing Robinson as a “thug who represents the very worst of Britain”.
Robinson is a controversial figure in the UK, known for his staunch criticism of Islam and for leading the English Defence League. He has been previously jailed for contempt of court.
Sayeeda Warsi, former minister in the Conservative cabinet, criticised the “irresponsible and deeply dangerous behaviour” by Israel in inviting “a man with multiple convictions for violence and fraud”.
