The Metropolitan Police arrested almost 900 people at a major demonstration in London’s Parliament Square on Saturday as hundreds defied the controversial decision to ban Palestine Action.

A total of 519 people were taken into custody, while 341 people were arrested and processed at a reception point in Westminster and then released on bail.
