Avon and Somerset Police made 31 arrests in Bristol city centre <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Dozens of protesters have been arrested under the Terrorism Act at a series of pro-Palestine demonstrations held across England.<\/p>\n

Campaign group Defend Our Juries organised demonstrations in 10 locations on Saturday, including Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham. <\/p>\n

The organisers said they were protesting “against our Government’s complicity in genocide and against the ban on [direct action group] Palestine Action”. Palestine Action was proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 in July.<\/p>\n

In Bristol city centre, 31 people were arrested, while in Manchester, 34 were held at a rally attended by 200.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Birmingham, 25 protesters carrying placards expressing support for Palestine Action were arrested at a rally in Chamberlain Square in the city centre, West Midlands Police said.<\/p>\n

Ch Insp James Littlehales said: “We fully recognise people’s right to demonstrate peacefully, and many people continue to protest in support of Palestine without breaking the law.<\/p>\n

“But we will take appropriate action where people are breaching the law by showing support for proscribed organisations.”<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police said it had detained 34 protesters in St Peter’s Square for suspected terror offences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In Bristol, demonstrators congregated at College Green and 30 people were arrested on suspicion of displaying articles in support of a proscribed organisation.<\/p>\n

One woman was held on suspicion of failing to provide details under the Police Reform Act, Avon and Somerset Police said.<\/p>\n

Insp Ben Spence said: “The protest has now safely concluded and the police operation has been stood down.”<\/p>\n

Officers also arrested 10 protesters in Norwich<\/a>. Norfolk Police said a group of people were being held under the Terrorism Act on suspicion of holding placards that showed support for Palestine Action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A separate protest in London organised by the Palestine Coalition attracted about 100,000 demonstrators, the group said. <\/p>\n

Five arrests were made for suspected affray and Public Order Act offences, according to the Met Police.<\/p>\n

Many of those gathered in the capital carried Palestinian flags and chanted pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans as they walked from Green Park to Whitehall.<\/p>\n

Some set off green and red fireworks as they walked down Piccadilly in central London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Israel launched a military operation in Gaza after Hamas-led militants based in the Palestinian territory attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251.<\/p>\n

At least 70,100 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry. A ceasefire was called on 10 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
