More than 20 people have been arrested in London after a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action, the Metropolitan Police has said.
Pictures from the demonstration showed a small group holding placards reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” in Westminster.
As of Saturday, the group is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, after lawyers acting on its behalf failed with a court bid to block the ban on Friday.
The designation means that being a member of, or showing support for Palestine Action, is a criminal offence and could lead to up to 14 years in prison.
