Mass Arrests at Protests Supporting Banned Palestine Action Group
Recent protests across the UK in support of the banned Palestine Action group have led to over 55 arrests, with more than 40 individuals detained in London alone. Demonstrators aimed to defy the ban imposed on the group, which has been declared a terrorist organization by some officials. The police have been actively arresting supporters for allegedly holding signs and demonstrating in favor of Palestine Action, with reports of dozens being taken into custody in various locations. The controversial ban has sparked significant debate on civil liberties and the right to protest, with some commentators labeling it a dangerous overreach by authorities. As the situation develops, many protesters continue to gather in support, despite the risk of arrest.
