Protests for Palestine in London result in disturbances and detentions

Protest Against Ban on Palestine Action Group in London

A contentious protest march took place in London's Westminster district, with hundreds of individuals rallying outside Parliament in response to the ban on the Palestine Action group. The demonstration, which saw over 700 people participate, according to media reports, was marked by chaos that led to the arrest of around 150 individuals by the Metropolitan Police.

The Palestine Action group was designated as a terrorist organization by the British government due to acts of sabotage, specifically painting Royal Air Force planes with color. However, it's important to note that the group has never advocated violence against people.

The ban, currently the subject of a bitter legal dispute, has been met with criticism by those who argue it is an unlawful restriction of freedom of speech. Critics contend that the ban stifles any debate about the group and its actions.

Huda Ammori, the founder of Palestine Action, intends to challenge the group's ban in court. Ammori, one of the group's founders, has been vocal in accusing the British government of supporting Israel with tank planes in the Gaza war.

The arrests made during the demonstration included harmless individuals and some retirees, sparking concerns about the broad nature of the ban and its application. Reports of aggressive behaviour towards police were also recorded during the protest.

Despite the ongoing legal dispute, the British government maintains a tough stance, denying the group's claims and asserting that membership or support of a terrorist organization is punishable by up to 14 years in prison in Great Britain.

The Ludwigsburg Committee "Have the Right to be Heard" and the Millennials turning 40, as well as a head-on crash in the Göppingen District, were not related to the events in London.
