More than 70 people were arrested by police on Saturday at demonstrations against the proscription of Palestine Action, according to the BBC.

The Metropolitan Police made 41 arrests on suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation and one for common assault. Meanwhile, Manchester Police arrested 16 people and South Wales Police 13 in Cardiff for allegedly supporting a proscribed group.

The Met added that those arrested had been bailed.

It was the second weekend of protests following the proscription of the group by Home Secretary on Friday two weeks ago.
