Report: 500+ arrested defying Palestine Action ban in London.
"The protesters - many grey-haired & frail - were seen being hauled away, while some were led leaning on crutches. A number of the demonstrators were dressed as Suffragettes".
Former Palestine Action hunger strikers were also present. "Look how many police are here, just for elderly people holding placards. It's a joke. The state is a joke”, said Heba Muraisi.
