Mass Arrests During Pro-Palestine Protests in London

In a series of protests supporting the banned group Palestine Action, UK police have arrested at least 365 people in London, marking one of the largest mass arrest instances in recent history. Demonstrators defied new anti-terror laws aimed at curbing support for the group, leading to widespread unrest. The protests have sparked significant debate about freedom of speech and state power, with critics labeling the situation a ‘gross abuse of state power’. Similar protests occurred across Europe, showcasing rising support for Palestine amid increasing tensions. The police have warned of potential further arrests as activists mobilize to protest against the ban on Palestine Action.
