The Metropolitan Police said it has arrested 200 people “as of 15:40hrs” during a large protest in Parliament Square opposing Britain’s decision to ban the group Palestine Action, with more arrests expected.

Demonstrators gathered in central London on Saturday, waving placards in support of Palestine Action and chanting slogans such as “Shame on you” and “Hands off Gaza.” Many wore the traditional Koufiyyeh and carried signs declaring, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan warned that “anyone showing support for Palestine Action can expect to be arrested”, adding: “An arrest under the Terrorism Act can have very real long-term implications – from travel, to employment, to finances.”

UK bans Palestine Action under terrorism laws

The arrests follow a decision in July by British lawmakers to designate Palestine Action as a proscribed organization under anti-terrorism legislation. The move came after incidents in which members entered a Royal Air Force base and damaged military aircraft in protest against Britain’s support for "Israel."

Under the ban, membership in the group is now a criminal offense punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Authorities emphasized that public expressions of support for the group could trigger arrests under the Terrorism Act, highlighting the potential long-term personal and legal consequences for those involved.

Despite the ban, Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori last week won a legal bid to challenge the government’s decision to outlaw the group. The case will now proceed through the courts, potentially reopening debate over the legality and proportionality of the ban.
