UK arrests over 500 at pro-Palestinian protests linked to banned group

Yvette Cooper defends the UK government's ban on Palestine Action, emphasizing its involvement in violent attacks and criminal damage, despite protests and concerns over the broad application of terrorism laws. The ban, which criminalizes support for the group, follows significant protests and arrests, with the government citing security assessments and serious attacks as justification. The situation is set against the backdrop of ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises in Gaza.
