UK police face outrage after arresting elderly woman at London protest

Описание: UK police arrested an elderly woman as the crowd voiced their anger with chants of “Are you proud?” and “Shame on you.”

The woman was detained during a rally in support of Palestine Action, a group recently banned by the UK government under anti-terror laws.

More than 365 people were arrested at the protest for showing solidarity with Palestine Action.

Critics argue the ban was enacted at the behest of Israeli lobbying groups, raising serious concerns about foreign influence on domestic politics and the restrictions imposed on peaceful protest and free expression.
