The demonstration saw hundreds gather to oppose the UK government's designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, which was enacted last July after members of the group engaged in direct action against military facilities. Protesters displayed signs reading, 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action,' and included a diverse group of participants, some of whom were elderly and frail. The Metropolitan Police reported that the ages of those arrested ranged from 27 to 82, highlighting the broad demographic involved in the protest.
