Overview
- The Metropolitan Police said Saturday that 523 people were arrested at a silent sit-in in Trafalgar Square.
- An earlier police update put the total at 92 before the figure was raised as detentions continued.
- The detainees included musician Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, according to the Press Association.
- The ban on Palestine Action stays in force because the government appealed a February court finding that judged it disproportionate.
- Under the ban, public support can bring up to six months in jail and membership or organizing up to 14 years, and organizers say more than 2,700 people have been arrested since July.
