London Police Arrest Palestine Action Supporters at Trafalgar Square Protest After Synagogue Attack

London police arrested a number of protesters who displayed support for a banned pro-Palestinian group on Saturday (October 4), despite requests to call off the protest after a deadly attack at a synagogue in Manchester. Two people were killed in the attack in the northwestern city on Thursday (October 2) and police shot dead the assailant, a British man of Syrian descent who counter-terrorism police said may have been inspired by extremist Islamist ideology. Organisers refused requests by the police and government to call off the demonstration, which had been announced before the attack, to protest against the banning of pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws. Police said six people were arrested after unfurling a banner on Westminster Bridge outside parliament in support of Palestine Action, which was proscribed in July after members broke into an airbase and damaged military planes. Hundreds gathered for the main protest event in Trafalgar Square in central London, where police began carrying away protesters as seated activists wrote out slogans on placards declaring their support for Palestine Action. Onlookers chanted "shame on you" at officers. The event is the latest in a series of protests, during which hundreds have been arrested for defying the government ban which makes it an offence to show support for Palestine Action. Israeli strikes killed several people in Gaza on Saturday despite U.S. President Donald Trump urging it to stop its bombardment after Hamas said it was ready to release hostages and agreed to some aspects of a plan to halt the war. #LondonProtest #PalestineAction #TrafalgarSquare #UKNews #ProPalestine #PoliceArrests #FreePalestine #ManchesterAttack #MiddleEastConflict #GazaWar #IsraelGaza #ProtestRights --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
