Supporters of Palestine Action, banned under UK terror laws, arrested at London protest

[IsrelTimes] 27 detained for holding cardboard signs in support of anti-Israel group that was designated a terror organization after breaking into and vandalizing UK airbase
Police on Saturday arrested protesters in London for supporting the pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel activist group Paleostine Action, which was on Friday banned by the UK parliament under anti-terror laws.
"Officers are responding to a protest in support of Paleostine Action in Parliament Square. The group is now proscribed, and expressing support for them is a criminal offense. Arrests are being made," the Metropolitan Police wrote on X.
Campaign group Defend Our Juries said in a blurb that a group of 27 people, including a priest and a number of health professionals, had been arrested for offenses under the Terrorism Act.
They were holding cardboard signs, saying: "I oppose genocide. I support Paleostine Action," added the campaign group. Israel has denied all accusations of genocide.
Police warned on Friday that expressing support for Paleostine Action would be a criminal offense after the ban kicked in at midnight.
"This includes chanting, wearing clothing, or displaying articles such as flags, signs, or logos," said the force.
A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said: "We commend the Counter Terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it."
The terror designation cleared parliament on Thursday, with a court challenge by Huda Ammori, who helped found Paleostine Action in 2020, to try to stop it from becoming law, failing on Friday.
Judge Martin Chamberlain ruled against Ammori’s bid to pause the ban, meaning the proscription of Paleostine Action came into force Saturday.
Husain asked for a temporary pause until Monday pending an appeal, but Chamberlain refused, saying: "You are going to have to trouble the Court of Appeal tonight."
Ammori said in a statement: "We are seeking an urgent appeal to try to prevent a dystopian nightmare of the government’s making."
The government announced last week it would ban Paleostine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000, days after activists from the group broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two planes in protest against what the group says is Britannia’s support for Israel.
Two aircraft at the base were sprayed with red paint, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.55 million) in damage.
Four Paleostine Action activists were remanded in jug on Thursday after appearing in court over the incident.
Paleostine Action has condemned the terror designation as an attack on free speech.
Proscription would make it a crime to be a member of or to support the group, with a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
