More than 300 people have been arrested during a protest supporting the banned Palestine Action group outside the US embassy, police have said.

Hundreds of people gathered at Nine Elms in London on Saturday, with many holding signs reading phrases such as: "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action."

The Metropolitan Police said on Sunday that 325 arrests were made. The force added on social media that 320 of them were for "expressing support for a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act".
