British police arrested 41 people who showed their support for the "Palestine Action" movement in a demonstration outside Parliament.
The movement was banned by British lawmakers under anti-terrorism legislation earlier this month after some of its members stormed a Royal Air Force base and damaged two planes in protest against Britain's support for Israel.
London police said in a statement on social media, "Police officers arrested 41 people for showing support for a banned organization. One person was arrested for assault."
Police had arrested 29 people after a similar demonstration in London last week.
Police also made arrests at a demonstration supporting the Palestine Action movement in Manchester. Other protests took place in Cardiff and Northern Ireland.
