BBC • • world
Key Points:
- Over 300 people were arrested during a protest supporting the banned Palestine Action group outside the US embassy in London, with the Metropolitan Police confirming 325 arrests, mostly for supporting a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act.
- Palestine Action was banned in July 2025, and the UK Supreme Court is set to review the ban after the group's co-founder was granted permission to appeal.
- The protest saw hundreds of participants, some applauding arrests and chanting slogans like "Free, free Palestine," while critics expressed concerns about civil liberties being undermined.
- Defend Our Juries, coordinating protests against the ban, described the total of over 4,000 arrests related to Palestine Action since its proscription as "truly dystopian."
- Home Office data shows 3,630 arrests in the year ending June 2026, and with recent detentions, the total number of arrests linked to the group has reached 4,089.
