Story summary

On October 31, 325 protesters were arrested by British police during a demonstration supporting the banned pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action outside the US Embassy in London. The protest was organized by Defend Our Juries to oppose the government's decision to classify Palestine Action as a terrorist organization under UK law in June 2025, which has led to over 4,000 arrests since the ban began. Activists claim that expressing support for Palestine Action is now illegal and argue that this infringes on their democratic rights to protest, while some protesters view it as an attack on freedom of speech and assembly. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold a hearing starting November 4th regarding the legality of proscribing Palestine Action under anti-terror legislation.
