Detentions during a demonstration in support of Palestine in London

According to inkorr.com: In London, police detained 493 individuals during a rally in support of Palestine. This protest was part of the 'Action for Palestine' movement, which is officially considered a banned organization in the UK.

The demonstration began with a quiet memorial event in Trafalgar Square, where participants sat on the sidewalks with placards expressing their support for Palestine, despite the government's ban. The first arrests occurred around 1:00 PM, when police detained several activists who were displaying banners.

The police reported that the operation is complete, but the total number of detainees may increase, as processing of some detained individuals is ongoing.

A police representative indicated that officers are experiencing emotional and physical exhaustion due to the ongoing protests diverting their attention from important safety issues. She emphasized the need to focus on ensuring the safety of people rather than on endless demonstrations.

Today, the UK recognized the independence of the Palestinian state in an effort to contribute to resolving the conflict between Palestine and Israel.

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disagreement with Britain’s position on recognizing Palestine as a state.

This rally has become part of a broader movement occurring in many countries, where activists are calling for support for Palestine. The detentions of demonstrators highlight the complexity of the situation and the pressure faced by law enforcement agencies amidst numerous protests. The recognition of Palestine by the UK could have far-reaching consequences for international politics, considering opposition from some countries, including the USA. This issue remains largely at the center of international community attention.
