Arrested Palestine Action protesters were let go immediately
The Metropolitan Police said it faced 'entirely unrealistic' challenges in policing a protest in support of Palestine Action at which more than 500 people were arrested. Activists who were detained on suspicion of terror offences were later bailed on the spot, leaving overwhelmed officers unable to stop them from returning to the protest. Palestine Action said the protest was a 'momentous act of collective defiance' as police were forced to arrest 532 people, including 15 over 80 years old and 112 over 70, on suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation. Under the law, support for the group can lead to a prison sentence, although most of those arrested are expected to be fined. To prevent police stations being overwhelmed with arrested protesters, the Met implemented a 'street bail' system, which has previously been used at large environmental protests.
