Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Police in the United Kingdom arrested nearly 500 people in central London during the largest Palestine Action protest since the group was designated a terrorist organization, amid growing international concerns over Gaza's humanitarian crisis.

Police in London have detained more than 466 people who were protesting the United Kingdom’s decision to ban the Palestine Action Group, marking the “largest ever mass arrest” at a single protest in the British capital, according to campaigners.
