‘Arrested more than 200’: London Police action on supporters of the Ek-Filistini Group; Protesters called it a free speech violation

The London police have arrested around 200 people, when protesters have defined a new law a new law, banning public support for a Palestinian group, ‘Palestine Action’ wrongly prohibited the law of freedom of expression.In a post on X, Metropolitan Police said, “We have now made 200 arrests in Parliament Square this afternoon.”Earlier officials arrested 150 people after arresting several protesters in support of Palestine Action, who were declared in July and classified as a terrorist organization.“Within this crowd, a significant number of people are displaying support for Palestine Action, which is a prosecuting group,” read the post. “Officers have gone in and are arresting.”Home Secretary Yatete Cooper banned the organization after an incident in June 20, in which group Palestine Action activists broke into a British Air Force base to oppose Britain’s support for Israel in their war on the basis of a British Air Force in southern England. He sprayed red paint into two large aircraft engines and further damaged them using a craub.On Saturday, the protesters gathered outside Parliament such as “I oppose the genocide. I support Palestine’s action,” inspires the police to intervene. Supporters of the group are challenging the ban in the court, claiming that it dangerously envisions the definition of terrorism and reduces democratic freedom.“Once the meaning of ‘terrorism’ is separated from the campaigns of violence against a civilian population, and if the rich, powerful and criminal are expanded to include economic loss or embarrassment, then the right to freedom of expression has no meaning and democracy has died,” Pro-Filistine said on its website.The arrest comes during the weekend of increased demonstrations in London. The Pro-Filistin march is planned, in which one ends on the Downing Street, while on Sunday, rallies will call for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Protests related to immigration, including external hotel housing shelter seekers, are also expected.Deputy Assistant Commissioner Edd Edelkan said that the scale of incidents will “pressurize the police department”.Edelkan said before the protest began, “It is going to be particularly busy with several days of protests and events in London, requiring a significant policing appearance.”
