A further 24 people have been charged over showing support for banned group Palestine Action.
It brings the total number being prosecuted since the group was proscribed a terror group in July to 138.
The latest charges come ahead of a planned protest on Saturday where organisers have said they are expecting more than 1,000 people to gather in London’s Parliament Square, holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.
Frank Ferguson, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “We continue to make swift decisions in all cases where arrests have been made and are expecting more charges in the coming weeks.
“The public has a democratic right to protest peacefully in this country, and thousands of people continue to do just that on a regular basis without breaking terrorism laws.
“However, Palestine Action is now a proscribed terrorist organisation and those who choose to show support for the group will be subject to criminal proceedings under the Terrorism Act.
“When protest conduct crosses the line from lawful activity into criminality, we have a duty to enforce the law.
“People should consider the real-life consequences of choosing to support Palestine Action, and ahead of the weekend, we continue to urge people to think very carefully about their actions at protests.”
It comes as the Metropolitan Police revealed that protests and major events in London have cost the force more than £10 million in the space of a month.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said around 62,800 officer shifts had been diverted from local policing since June to cover large-scale events including Pride in London, Notting Hill Carnival, Wembley concerts and major sporting fixtures.
He warned that while policing demonstrations and high-profile gatherings is part of life in the capital, the scale of resourcing “inevitably” impacts other priorities. The Met is preparing for another busy weekend with a Palestine Action rally, pro-Gaza and counter-protests, as well as an anti-migrant hotel demonstration.
Later this month, further disruption is expected with a rally organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson and the state visit of former US president Donald Trump.
