On November 1, 2026, British police arrested 325 individuals during a protest outside the US Embassy in London in support of Palestine Action, a group designated as a terrorist organization. The arrests were primarily for expressing support for the proscribed organization under the Terrorism Act. This demonstration occurred just days before the UK Supreme Court is set to review the ban on Palestine Action, which was enacted in July 2025 following the group's actions against Israeli military operations. Human rights organizations claim that the UK government is criminalizing legitimate resistance, with over 4,000 arrests made since the ban's implementation. The US also classifies Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, further complicating the group's legal challenges. A smaller protest occurred in Edinburgh, where no arrests were reported.
