London police arrested 474 pro-Palestinian protesters who deliberately defied a new law banning support for Palestine Action, a group protesting UK military support for Israel, amid ongoing demonstrations related to the Gaza conflict and immigration issues.
Hundreds of supporters of the banned pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action were arrested in London during protests against the UK's law banning the organization, which was enacted after activists vandalized military planes to protest British support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
