Several activists from the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action were detained in London following a series of demonstrations, as the UK government weighs a potential ban on the organisation.
The arrests come amid escalating tensions over the group's disruptive protests, which have targeted businesses and government buildings linked to Israel. Police confirmed multiple detentions, though exact numbers remain unclear.
Government Considers Crackdown
Ministers are reportedly reviewing legal measures to proscribe Palestine Action, citing concerns over public order and economic disruption. The group has gained notoriety for its direct-action tactics, including vandalism and blockades.
Activists Defy Warnings
Despite increasing police scrutiny, Palestine Action members vow to continue their campaign. "We won't be silenced while Palestine suffers," one activist declared during a recent rally.
The Metropolitan Police have warned that further unlawful protests will meet with "swift enforcement action", as authorities balance free speech rights with public safety concerns.
