URGENT: Met Police Make 175 Arrests in London Pro-Palestine Protest Chaos

Breaking News: Met Police Make 175 Arrests in London Pro-Palestine Protest Chaos The Metropolitan Police have made 175 arrests in central London during protests in support of the proscribed group Palestine Action. The demonstrations took place despite calls from ministers and police to postpone them following Thursday's deadly synagogue attack in Manchester. Protesters were arrested for various offenses, including obstructing a highway and breach of peace. The Met Police confirmed that the majority of those arrested are being held at a central London police station. The protests were organized by Defend Our Juries, who claim hundreds took part in demonstrations backing Palestine Action. However, the group was proscribed by the government in July, making it illegal to show any support or affiliation with them. Sir Keir Starmer had urged protesters to "respect the grief of British Jews" following the Manchester attack. Jewish figures also criticized the protests, calling for them to be postponed out of respect. The current status is that 175 people are being held in custody, and it is unclear when they will be released or charged. The Met Police have not commented on whether any further arrests are expected. This is a developing story, with updates expected as more information becomes available. *This is a developing story.
