In the United Kingdom, police arrested over 500 pro-Palestinian activists at London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday. They were holding signs that read “I oppose genocide — I support Palestine Action.” Palestine Action was declared a terrorist organization in the U.K. last year, making support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Britain’s High Court struck down the ban earlier this year on free speech grounds; the government has appealed the ruling. Nearly 3,000 people have been arrested since the ban on Palestine Action was first imposed. Hundreds face charges.
