A large protest in London's Parliament Square on Saturday saw 1,000-1,400 people demonstrating against the UK government's ban on Palestine Action, a group designated a terrorist organization in July. Police made around 150 arrests for offenses including assault and supporting a proscribed organization. The ban, criticized by human rights groups and the UN, is facing a judicial review in November. The protest highlights concerns about civil liberties and government overreach, with supporters arguing the ban stifles free speech and sets a dangerous precedent.
