Police in London arrested more than 200 pro-Palestinian protesters at a demonstration in support of the banned group Palestine Action. The protesters held placards in support of the group, making them liable for arrest.
Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation last July, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support the group, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
The High Court in London in mid-February upheld a challenge to the ban, saying it had interfered with the right to freedom of speech. However, the government has been granted leave to appeal the decision.
Since the ban on Palestine Action was imposed, there have been nearly 3,000 arrests, mainly for carrying placards defending it. Hundreds of people are facing charges.
Protester Denis MacDermot, 73, from Edinburgh, said he had been arrested before and had no hesitation about turning out again.
Protest organisers Defend Our Juries said around 500 people had taken part in Saturday's demonstration, protesting "the UK Government's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza and the misguided crackdown on peaceful protest at home".
