POLICE STANDING AT SQUARE KEEPING WATCH (TWO SHOTS) LONDON, UK - AUGUST 9, 2025: Police arrested a protester Saturday, Aug. 9, during a demonstration by the recently banned activist group Palestine Action at Parliament Square. Officers enforced heightened security measures throughout the area. Since the group’s ban on July 5 under the Terrorism Act, more than 200 people across the UK have been arrested for displaying slogans such as "I Oppose Genocide. I Support Palestine Action." In June, the government announced a ban under the Terrorism Act 2000 after activists from Palestine Action spray-painted planes at a Royal Air Force base, an act being investigated under counter-terrorism laws. The ban was later passed in the House of Commons and the House of Lords in July. Israel has been facing mounting outrage over its deadly war on Gaza, where more than 61,300 people have been killed since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave and brought it to the verge of famine. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. Writing by Ayse Elif Erdis
