More than 300 people have been arrested during a protest supporting the banned Palestine Action group outside the US embassy, police have said.

The Metropolitan Police said on Sunday that 325 arrests were made. The force added on social media that 320 of them were for "expressing support for a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act".

At least 4,000 people have now been arrested in relation to the group, which was proscribed in July 2025.

The UK Supreme Court is due to review Palestine Action's ban under terrorism legislation, after the group's co-founder was granted permission to appeal it.

The Home Office has said that it will robustly defend against the appeal.
