London: Police in London arrested dozens of protesters on a second successive Saturday for supporting Palestine Action, campaigners said, a week after the UK government banned the activist group under anti-terror laws.
Campaign group Defend Our Juries, which had announced it would hold rallies Saturday in several UK cities "to defy" the ban, said police in the UK capital had arrested "more than 40 people" and criticised the response.
"The Metropolitan Police were out in force again today, arresting more than 40 people in Parliament Square for holding signs opposed to genocide and supporting Palestine Action," a spokesperson told AFP.
"Who do the police think they are serving in this?" the spokesperson added, calling the ban "Orwellian".
Footage showed police moving in on a small group of protesters displaying signs supporting Palestine Action who had gathered at the steps of the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Parliament Square.
