41 arrested at protest in London for supporting Palestine Action

Police in London arrested dozens of protesters on a second successive Saturday for supporting Palestine Action, a week after the UK government banned the activist group under anti-terror laws, AFP reports.

“The area was cleared within the last hour,” it added in a mid-afternoon update.
