Palestine Action Protesters Mass Arrested

The sit-down protest saw hundreds of activists gather in defiance of the terrorist label applied to the direct action group last July.

High-profile figures, including Massive Attack frontman Robert Del Naja, were among those carried away by officers.

Organizers argued that the demonstration showed 'stronger than ever' resistance to the ban and the government's stance on the conflict in Gaza.

The Metropolitan Police maintained that holding signs in support of a banned group makes individuals liable for prosecution under current anti-terror laws.
