Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

Police have arrested almost 900 Palestine Action supporters in London under anti-terrorism legislation.

The British government has banned the group and put it alongside Al Qaeda and ISIS.

What's next?

The UK government says proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group does not affect other lawful pro-Palestine and pro-Israel groups from peacefully protesting.
