US EditionPolice arrest protesters supporting Palestine Action after group designated as terrorist organisation
- More than 20 protesters supporting Palestine Action were arrested by Metropolitan Police on Saturday during a demonstration in Parliament Square, London.
- The arrests followed the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group, a decision made under the Terrorism Act 2000 after MPs voted 385 to 26 on Wednesday and the House of Lords approved the ban on Thursday.
- The ban came into force at midnight before the protest, and organizers held signs supporting Palestine Action beneath the statue of Mahatma Gandhi while police circled protesters and began arrests shortly after 1:30 p.m.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described Palestine Action’s history of damage as “disgraceful,” while critics like Green councillor Leslie Tate called the group non-violent and condemned the proscription as a parliamentary trick to pass the bill.
- The designation criminalizes membership or support for Palestine Action, punishable by up to 14 years in prison, signaling intensified government action against the group and related protests.
