UK police arrest dozens at banned Palestine Action demo
The British police arrested dozens of people within the scope of Anti -Terror Laws to support the Palestinian action, a pro -Palestinian group, which was banned by the government as a terrorist organization.
The United Kingdom banned Palestinian action in July after some members entered the Royal Air Force Base and damaging military planes.
The group blames Britain’s guilt government when they say that Israel is war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
In recent weeks, the police have arrested hundreds of Palestinian supporters, including more than 500 years of more than 500 years, more than 500 years old, last month.
On Saturday, hundreds of demonstrators gathered near the parliament in the center of London to protest against the laws and many of them “against the genocide. I support the Palestinian action.”
London’s metropolitan police, civil servants began to arrest those who support the Palestinian action, he said.
The police did not say how many arrests were made, but a Reuters witness said that dozens of people were detained.

62 -year -old Mike Higgins, who used a blind and wheelchair, was arrested last month, but he returned to demonstrate on Saturday.
“And am I a terrorist? This joke,” he said.
“I have been arrested in accordance with the law of terrorism and I suspect that I will be today.
“Of course I will continue to come back. Which option do I have?”
Officers began arrests to support the Palestinian action of the terrorist organization banned in the protest defended by our juries. Updates for this ongoing operation will be given in the afternoon.
The ban or prohibition of the Palestinian action puts the group with Al Qaeda and Islamic states and makes it a crime to support the organization or the organization, which can be sentenced to up to 14 years in prison.
“A crime in accordance with the law of terrorism – you will be arrested.” He said.
He continued: “We have civil servants numbers, custody capacity and all other resources.
The Human Rights groups criticized the UK’s group of disproportionately prohibited the group and said that peaceful protesters limited the freedom of expression.
The Palestinian action is challenging the ban in court, saying that it is a peaceful protest.
The government accused Palestine of causing millions of pounds of criminal damage and said the ban did not prevent other pro -Palestinian protests.
The protesters will also take place on Saturday in the Russell Square of London – Palestinian Solidarity Campaign groups, organized by the “Palestinian Coalition” and stop the war in Belfast and Edinburgh.
