Palestine Action Protesters Arrested

Trafalgar Square became the site of a major confrontation on Saturday as protesters challenged the UK government's ban on Palestine Action.

The Metropolitan Police carried out hundreds of arrests, citing support for a proscribed terrorist organization.

Organizers argued that the ban is an unlawful interference with free speech, pointing to a recent High Court ruling that questioned its legality.

The ages of those detained ranged from 18 to 87, highlighting the broad demographic involved in the protest.
