UK Police arrest over 20 protesters opposing genocide in Gaza
British police arrested more than 20 people in London today, Saturday, for protesting against the genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza and for showing support for the 'Palestine Action' movement.
According to international news agencies, the British police said the arrests were made on suspicion of 'terrorism-related offenses,' citing the individuals' support for Palestine Action, which was recently banned in the UK.
This comes after the ban on Palestine Action officially took effect at midnight, following a court's rejection of an urgent appeal the movement had filed against the UK Parliament's decision to designate it as a 'terrorist organization.'
Last month, the British government announced the ban on the group after its activists stormed a Royal Air Force base and damaged two aircraft in protest of the UK's support for the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
Supporters of the movement gathered in Parliament Square, Westminster, holding signs that read 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.' Video footage showed police arresting several of them as they chanted near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi.

Maariv: Majority of Gaza envelope residents feel unsafe, plan to leave
Occupied Quds – SABA: A public opinion poll published on Sunday by the Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed that an overwhelming majority of residents in the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip (the so-called 'Gaza Envelope') feel unsafe and have growing doubts about Israel's deterrence capabilities nearly two years into the ongoing war. 70% of respondents believe Israeli deterrence toward Gaza is either 'weak' or 'very weak.' 78% of residents say they feel no sense of security in the area due to ongoing hostilities and instability. 63% said that the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza is essential to restoring their sense of security. A staggering 93% believe that the current security policies are failing to eliminate the threats emanating from Gaza. 30.4% of residents are considering or planning to migrate from the area due to the deteriorating security situation. 77% of respondents said they do not trust the Israeli media, accusing it of downplaying threats and whitewashing the harsh reality. 76.8% expressed no trust in the Israeli government. 56% distrust Shin Bet (Shabak), the internal security agency. 45.5% said they have lost trust in the Israeli army. These findings come just days after the Israeli government announced it would allow Gaza Envelope residents to return to their towns for the first time since October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led attacks triggered the current phase of conflict.
