| [IsraelTimes] London police say they arrested 890 people at a demonstration yesterday in support of Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel group banned by the British government as a terrorist organization. The Metropolitan Police say 857 people were arrested for showing support for Palestine Action, while 33 people were arrested for other offenses, including 17 for assaulting police officers. Police had warned ahead of the demonstration that anyone showing support for the group would be arrested. Britain banned Palestine Action under anti-terrorism legislation in July after some of its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged military planes. The group accuses Britain’s government of complicity in what it says are Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
