British police arrested 890 participants in a pro-Palestinian demonstration designated as a terrorist organization.
According to The Guardian on the 7th, the London Metropolitan Police arrested 857 people on suspicion of supporting a banned organization under the Terrorism Prevention Act. Additionally, 17 individuals were arrested on charges of assaulting police officers and 33 others on different criminal charges.
The day before, hundreds of protesters held a demonstration in support of 'Palestine Action' in Parliament Square in central London.
Palestine Action is a pro-Palestinian group that accuses the British government of complicity in Israel's war crimes in Gaza and targets defense companies linked to Israel.
In July, some members of Palestine Action were designated as a terrorist organization after breaking into a British Royal Air Force base and damaging a military aircraft. Groups such as Al-Qaeda are classified as terrorist organizations in the UK.
Under the Terrorism Prevention Act, individuals who support organizations designated as terrorist or who harbor them may face up to 14 years in prison.
