London Police Arrest 139 Protesters Supporting Banned Palestine Action Group
London police arrested 139 protesters outside the U.S. Embassy for supporting Palestine Action, a group banned by the UK government as a terrorist organisation. Most arrests were for expressing support for the proscribed group. Protesters, many retirees, held signs opposing genocide and backing Palestine Action. A related vigil in Edinburgh saw no arrests, though Police Scotland is reviewing evidence. The protests precede a Supreme Court appeal against the group's banned status scheduled for November 4.
