Police in London arrested 48 people as hundreds demonstrated against the recent ban on the Palestine Action group. The protests took place in both London and Edinburgh, drawing sizable crowds. The actions come just days before a UK Supreme Court appeal that seeks to overturn the proscription of the group.
