ALMOST 900 demonstrators were arrested at a central London rally protesting against the banning of Palestine Action as a terror group, the Metropolitan Police has said.

An estimated 1,500 took part in the protest in Parliament Square, Westminster, on Saturday and the force condemned the "intolerable" abuse it claims its officers suffered. However, organisers, campaign group Defend Our Juries (DOJ), insisted the rally was "the picture of peaceful protest" and called on new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to drop the "unenforceable" ban.
