Almost 900 arrested at Palestine Action demonstration in London, police say

Police in London arrested almost 900 people during a protest against the UK government's proscription of the direct-action group Palestine Action. The majority of arrests were made under the Terrorism Act 2000 for supporting a banned organization. Hundreds of demonstrators, including an army veteran and families of Holocaust survivors, gathered in Parliament Square to challenge the ban. Protesters stated their actions were in response to the UK's complicity in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
