Police in London have arrested at least 365 people for supporting Palestine Action, at the latest and largest protest backing the group since the government banned it last month under anti-terror laws, AFP reports.

The Metropolitan Police said it made arrests, thought to be one of the highest ever at a single protest in the UK capital, for “supporting a proscribed organisation”.

It also arrested seven for other offences, including assaults on officers, though none were seriously injured, it added.
