Backers of the banned group rallied on Parliament Square on Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 425 people were arrested in London on Saturday for showing support for the banned activist group Palestine Action, the Metropolitan Police have said.<\/p>\n

The group was outlawed under the Terrorism Act in June after its members broke into a military base and spray-painted two planes red in protest against Israel’s war in Gaza. Since then, its supporters have staged multiple demonstrations against the ban.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, activists gathered on Parliament Square carrying Palestinian flags and signs reading “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Police detained people standing and sitting on the lawn, including several activists in wheelchairs. Some protesters were filmed scuffling with officers.<\/p>\n

\n

The reality: Met police violently assault peaceful protestors including the elderly, in order to try and arrest over a thousand people for holding cardboard signs.<\/p>\n

So far, the police have only managed to arrest a small fraction of the nearly 1500 sign holders. https:\/\/t.co\/R0eS53EFVP<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/z676sQiEfo<\/a><\/p>\n
