Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the United States embassy in London for a protest opposing the proscription of Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police had anticipated the action, with The Independent noting they were prepared to arrest 400 supporters. As the demonstration unfolded, officers began making arrests on the grounds that participants were "essentially meeting to purposefully commit a crime," according to The Guardian and The Independent.
