The group was proscribed by the British government as a terrorist organization last year, and according to Amnesty International UK, police have since arrested over 2,700 people for alleged support of the banned organization.
Police also say officers arrested a 74-year-old man on suspicion of a public order offence for being seen carrying a sign reading: “Globalize the intifada.” A man was also arrested for “common assault” after confronting protesters, the force says.
A pro-Israel counter protest organized by Stop The Hate is taking place adjacent to the pro-Palestinian rally, police add.
