SUMMARY

The Metropolitan Police have begun arresting demonstrators supporting Palestine Action in London. This follows ongoing protests against the government's classification of Palestine Action as a terrorist group. On the latest demonstration, protesters held placards stating "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" before police intervened.

The police confirmed they arrested 70 individuals over recent weekends, with a total of 120 arrests across the UK. A High Court hearing is set for Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, to challenge the ban. The enforcement of this ban could lead to severe penalties under anti-terror laws.
