The True Post (Web News) The police cracked down hard on a peaceful protest in favor of the Palestinian people in the British capital of London, arresting 466 protesters.

The protest, held in London’s historic Parliament Square, aimed to draw international attention to Israel’s ongoing human rights violations in Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians. The demonstrators held placards and banners that read slogans against Israeli atrocities, genocide, and the silence of Western countries. The participants in the demonstration said they had taken to the streets to express solidarity with the defenseless citizens of Gaza.
The police have claimed that “the Palestine Action Group has been banned under the Terrorism Act since July 5, 2025, and any membership or support of this group can be punished with 14 years in prison.” The British police maintain that the arrested protesters carried out activities for this banned group, which required action. However, protesters and human rights activists have called the move an attack on freedom of expression. They say that speaking out in favor of Palestine is not terrorism but support for human rights.
