  • More than 100 people were arrested in central London on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action , a proscribed group, outside the Royal Courts of Justice .
  • The arrests followed a Court of Appeal ruling on Monday that upheld the ban of Palestine Action as a terror group, deeming it lawful.
  • This decision overturned a previous High Court judgment from February which had ruled the proscription unlawful.
