Britain arrests 532 opponents of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

The British capital's police announced the arrest of 532 supporters of the 'Action for Palestine' movement during a demonstration in London, where protesters gathered to express their rejection of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The police stated that the majority of the arrests occurred due to 'carrying a banner in support of a banned organization,' in violation of anti-terrorism laws, making this number of detainees the largest in a single protest in London's history.

The demonstrations witnessed in London were part of a series of global protests calling for an end to the war and starvation against Palestinians, where protesters gathered near the Parliament building and raised banners calling for support for the Action for Palestine movement.

British media reported that about half of the detainees are elderly, with some of them over sixty, reflecting the diversity of participants in these protests.

In its statement, the police confirmed that they would work on gathering the necessary files to prosecute the detainees, who may face penalties of up to 6 months in prison.

The British government had banned the Action for Palestine movement last July, after it claimed responsibility for storming an airbase in protest against British military support for the Israeli war.

Since October 2023, the Israeli occupation army has continued to wage a genocidal war against the residents of the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 61,000 Palestinians and the injury of over 153,000, in addition to the complete displacement of the Strip's population.
