London's Metropolitan Police said 325 people were arrested Saturday at a protest outside the U.S. Embassy supporting Palestine Action, Al-Monitor reported, citing an AFP account of a Sunday police update1.
Police said 320 of those arrests were for expressing support for a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act1. Earlier Saturday, CBS News reported a running total of 48 arrests while the demonstration was still under way3.
The protest came ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on the U.K. government's July 2025 decision to outlaw the group under anti-terror law, Al-Monitor said1. The Times of India said hundreds gathered in Nine Elms and that campaign group Defend Our Juries put related arrests above 4,0002.
Al-Monitor said a smaller rally outside the U.S. consulate in Edinburgh produced no arrests at the time1. Sky News's headline also used the 325 figure4. Police have not published charging outcomes in these accounts1,2.
