## Summary

Metropolitan Police officers arrested 300 people at a protest outside the US Embassy in London, where demonstrators displayed signs supporting Palestine Action, a group banned under UK terrorism law. Most arrests were for expressing support for a proscribed organisation, an offence under the Terrorism Act; the demonstration took place ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on the ban.

Defend Our Juries organised the protest and had expected about 400 participants, though images suggested just over 100 attended. The Met said more arrests could follow as the demonstration continued and warned that organisers and people providing logistical support could also be arrested. The force said Palestine Action-related protests had cost £1.3 million to police across six events in June and July.
