Further 60 Palestine Action supporters to be prosecuted
The force said it followed the arrest of more than 700 people since the group's proscription on July 7, including 522 in central London last Saturday.
Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said: 'The decisions that we have announced today are the first significant numbers to come out of the recent protests, and many more can be expected in the next few weeks.
'We are ready to make swift decisions in all cases where arrests have been made.'
The Met said: 'We have put arrangements in place that will enable us to investigate and prosecute significant numbers each week if necessary.'
Palestine Action was proscribed earlier in 2025 after the sabotage of aircraft at RAF Brize Norton.
Anyone found guilty of supporting or gathering support for a proscribed organisation faces a maximum of six months' imprisonment and a £5,000 fine. Just being arrested is enough to stop someone being allowed into the US or work in education.
Supporters of Palestine Action described the ban as a 'gross abuse of power' designed to stifle expressions of support for the Palestinian cause.
Mr Parkinson added: 'The public has a democratic right to protest peacefully in this country and I understand the depth of feeling around the horrific scenes in Gaza.
'However, Palestine Action is now a proscribed terrorist organisation, and those who have chosen to break the law will be subject to criminal proceedings under the Terrorism Act.'
Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said: 'To be clear, these arrests and prosecutions do not outlaw people's right to demonstrate in support of Palestine or any other cause.
'They are simply the enforcement of a specific provision under the Terrorism Act in relation to a specific proscribed terrorist organisation, Palestine Action.'
The number of arrests on Saturday was among the largest at a protest in decades. A total of 339 people were arrested during the poll tax riots in London on March 31 1990, when protesters fought with police in Trafalgar Square, central London.

‘I paid £500 after finding my dream dog for sale online. There was one problem – it didn't exist'
When Kate Margolis found her dream dog online, she didn't think for a second she could be falling for a scam. A web designer herself, she said she was 'blown away' by the breeder's website and got in touch with him to find out more. He later called her and quizzed her on her home, lifestyle, and plans for the dog. He told her in order to secure a puppy, she'd need to send a deposit of £500. Then, in three months, she would be able to come and choose her new pet. But just days before she was due to collect the dog, the man contacted her and said her puppy had eaten plastic and died. Then, when she tried to find out more, he took down his website, blocked her on everything, and disappeared. 'At first I thought that's really strange,' she said. 'A reputable breeder has allowed a puppy to find some plastic and chew it and die – something doesn't add up here. 'I replied to him and asked for my money back. That's when he disappeared – his website came down, his phone stopped ringing, and my £500 vanished into thin air.' Data from Action Fraud shows Brits have lost £7.2m to pet scams since 2019, with 14,300 reports in that time. Speaking to The Independent, fraud bosses warned criminals are using social media to 'prey' on people looking to buy their next pet online. Kate said she was devastated by the loss of the dog she had imagined becoming part of her life, she never even stopped to think she may have been scammed. 'At the time I thought he had probably just been oversubscribed,' she said. 'I was so consumed with finding a puppy to take home that I was like I'll deal with this later. 'I called in sick to work and spent the whole day trying to find another breeder. I thought, right now, I just need to find a breeder that's got a golden retriever.' It was only when she started working in the pet industry that she realised she had been fooled by a scam artist hiding behind an impressive website and convincing phone call – and that she wasn't the only one. 'Asking for deposits and disappearing is a really common theme,' she said. 'It's a fake name and a fake account, there's nothing to trace you.' But she warned scammers will use different techniques, including giving buyers a dog – but not the one they asked for. 'I've heard of people who have asked for a golden doodle and received an Irish wolfhound,' she added. Realising there was no easy way for prospective pet owners to verify breeders, she decided to matters into her own hands and founded Petproov, a UK-based pet tech startup where people can undertake a risk verification process using government grade ID checks. She said that since starting the platform, she has seen scammers use sophisticated and elaborate techniques including AI photos and videos of dogs and hiring out rental properties to deceive families into trusting them. 'AI has allowed scammers to be so much cleaner,' Kate said. 'It's a seamless operation. We see so many people who can't tell what's real and what's fake.' She added buyers should 'trust their gut' and if a breeder isn't willing to verify, walk away – no matter how difficult. Action Fraud bosses have warned prospective pet buyers not to pay deposits or holding fees without checking the animal is genuine first. Chief Superintendent Amanda Wolf, Head of Action Fraud and National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB), said: 'Criminals prey on prospective pet owners looking to buy their next animal online. If someone on social media, or an online marketplace, has put an advert online, ask to view the animal in person or via a video call before paying any money. 'Do not pay a deposit or a holding fee without seeing if the animal is genuine first and avoid paying by bank transfer. Fraudsters could use fake accounts to put up fake adverts with pictures of animals that do not exist. 'Remember to Stop! Think Fraud and stay safe when purchasing online, ensure you protect your passwords by creating strong and memorable passwords for each of your online accounts. Always enable multi-factor authentication if you can. 'If you've been a victim of fraud, report to your bank immediately and report to Action Fraud online at or by calling 0300 123 2040. In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101.'

MP resigns as trade envoy over controversial Cyprus visit
A Labour MP has resigned as the UK's trade envoy to Turkey following controversy surrounding a visit to Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus. Afzal Khan, who represents Manchester Rusholme, stepped down from his position on Friday, a government spokesman confirmed to the BBC. Mr Khan said the trip to the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is not recognised by the UK Government, was to visit his nephew and to receive an honorary degree. He said he had paid for the trip himself. Turkish troops have occupied the northern section of the Mediterranean island since 1974. Shadow foreign minister Wendy Morton told the BBC that she welcomed Mr Khan's resignation, but said Sir Keir Starmer should have sacked him earlier.
