Authorities have arrested over 70 people during protests in the U.K. over the British government's decision to classify the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.

“Officers have made 41 arrests for showing support for a proscribed organisation,” the Metropolitan Police said on X, noting another person had been arrested for common assault. “The area was cleared within the last hour,” it added in a mid-afternoon update.

Lawmakers proscribed the group after some of its members broke into an RAF base and damaged planes in protest against Britain's support for Israel.
