""Those attending should be aware that showing support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and we will not hesitate to act where the law is broken," said commander Claire Smart."
"Linda Walker stated, 'there's been a genocide going on for the last two and a half years,' expressing her motivation for attending the protest."
More than 200 individuals were arrested during a demonstration in central London opposing the ban on Palestine Action. The protest, named Everyone Day, was organized by Defend our Juries to show resistance against the ban. Attendees carried signs supporting Palestine Action and opposing US and Israeli policies. The group was banned under anti-terror legislation in July 2025, but the ban was ruled unlawful in February. Despite this, the Metropolitan Police resumed arrests for supporting the group, warning attendees of potential legal consequences.
