Hundreds of pro-Palestinian supporters took to the streets of London, protesting a recently enacted law that criminalizes support for the Palestine Action group. The Metropolitan Police confirmed over 500 arrests, including those made during a demonstration on Sunday. The protests represent a significant response to the government’s ban on Palestine Action, with individuals arrested for allegedly supporting the group. Simultaneously, hundreds of pro-Israel supporters marched through central London, demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza and expressing their support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Many of those arrested during the pro-Palestine demonstrations were displaying signs supporting Palestine Action.
