The government has said supporters of a "terrorist organisation will feel the full force of the law" after a protest in support of the proscribed group Palestine Action led to more than 500 arrests on Saturday.

Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Police in London have detained more than 466 people who were protesting the United Kingdom’s decision to ban the Palestine Action Group, marking the “largest ever mass arrest” at a single protest in the British capital, according to campaigners.
