Police plan to arrest demonstrators supporting Palestine Action, a group banned under terrorism laws. A protest against this ban is organized by Defend Our Juries. Police expect only a low turnout, in the hundreds, despite claims of thousands. Anyone arrested risks facing a terrorism conviction, with police having previously used tactics of mass identification and release on bail. The Metropolitan Police prepares for challenges this weekend, as they will manage a large pro-Palestinian march and possible anti-immigration protests, navigating pressures from both sides of the issues.

The police plan includes tactics similar to previous mass arrests, where individuals are identified and released on bail to be dealt with later.
