Protests in London continue as demonstrators gather for the second consecutive week in support of Palestine Action, a recently banned activism group. The UK police have made multiple arrests, including detaining health professionals and a priest, during a demonstration calling for the ban to be lifted. The group was proscribed under anti-terrorism laws after activists protested against UK support of Israel's actions in Gaza. Concerns about freedom of expression have been raised, as the group's proscription likens them to terrorist organizations, criminalizing support for them.
Protesters have shown solidarity for Palestine Action amid fears of freedom of expression being compromised following the group's proscription under anti-terrorism laws.
The arrests included health professionals and a priest, raising concerns about civil liberties and the repercussions for activism related to Palestinian rights.
