Originally Published 5 months ago — by CBS News
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. The protests aimed to challenge the legality of the ban, with organizers claiming it restricts free expression, while police stated many protesters were onlookers or media. The ban followed a raid on an RAF base by activists protesting UK military support for Israel, and supporters are now contesting the law in court.
