Hundreds Arrested in Parliament Square for Supporting Banned Palestine Action

  • During the weekend, London’s Metropolitan Police Service arrested over 466 people as more than 500 supporters of Palestine Action gathered in Parliament Square.
  • The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation in July 2025 under the Terrorism Act 2000, following activists’ vandalism of a British air force base in June 2025.
  • Demonstrators aimed to be arrested en masse to strain the justice system, with Defend Our Juries organizing the Parliament Square protest using `Lift The Ban` signs.
  • Critics say Amnesty International chief executive Sacha Deshmukh called the mass arrests `deeply concerning`, while the Met Police dispute claims of incomplete enforcement.
  • Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said the scale of events would put pressure on the Met Police resources, and more arrests are expected on Saturday as supporters challenge the ban through courts.
