Demonstration in central London on Saturday led to 857 arrests under Terrorism Act
A total of 890 arrests were made at a demonstration against the banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist group in central London on Saturday.
Police arrested 857 people under the Terrorism Act for showing support for a proscribed group, while 33 people were arrested for other offences, including 17 for assaults on police officers, the Metropolitan police said.
The force said those arrested were processed at a prisoner reception point in the Westminster area and those whose details could be confirmed were released on bail to appear at a police station at a future date.
Those who refused to provide their details, or were found to have been arrested while already on bail, were taken to custody suites.
