Police in London arrested dozens of people at a protest outside the US Embassy in Battersea in support of Palestine Action, a group the UK has proscribed. The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that 48 people had been arrested, most for expressing support for a proscribed organization, and that officers were still making arrests. More than 100 people took part, many holding signs reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” Before the protest, the Metropolitan Police had warned attendees that they faced arrest.
