Police Crack Down: At Least 150 Arrested at Palestine Action Rally Outside UK Parliament
At least 150 protesters were arrested during violent clashes outside UK Parliament at a rally calling for an end to a ban on the Palestine Action group, Defend Our Juries.
London police have made at least 150 arrests during violent clashes at a rally in support of lifting a ban on the Palestine Action group outside UK Parliament. The 'Defend Our Juries' event, which called on the government to repeal the Public Order Act that has been used against activists, turned violent with protesters clashing with police. Several people were injured, including some police officers, and many arrests were made in connection with breaches of public order laws. The arrests have sparked outrage among human rights groups and protesters who say they are being unfairly targeted by the authorities.
