URGENT: Met Police Make Over 400 Arrests in London Pro-Palestine Protest Chaos

BREAKING NEWS: Met Police Make Over 400 Arrests in London Pro-Palestine Protest Chaos At least 442 people have been arrested in central London during protests in support of the proscribed group Palestine Action, according to the Metropolitan Police. The arrests come despite calls from ministers and police for protests to be postponed following Thursday's deadly synagogue attack in Manchester. The demonstrations, organized by Defend Our Juries, drew around 1,000 participants, who were met with a heavy police presence. The Met Police confirmed that over 400 people have been taken into custody, with many more still being processed. Protesters had defied warnings from Sir Keir Starmer and Jewish figures to "respect the grief of British Jews" amid the ongoing tensions. However, Defend Our Juries member Zoe Cohen stated that as a Jewish person, she is grieving for both the victims of the synagogue attack and the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians affected by the conflict. The pro-Palestine protests have been met with controversy, given Palestine Action's recent proscription by the government. The group's activities are now considered illegal in the UK, making any support or affiliation a punishable offense.
