ALT A protest, organised by a coalition including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other groups, took place in Whitehall from 18:00hrs. Conditions were imposed under the Public Order Act requiring the protest to end by 20:00hrs. The vast majority of those in attendance, estimated at between 8,000 and 10,000 people, left without incident at the required time. However a group of around 500 remained in Whitehall and continued to protest putting them in breach of the conditions in place. Officers engaged extensively before making a number of arrests for failing to comply with conditions. As they moved in, some in the crowd resisted physically requiring officers to use force to extract those who had been arrested. The protesters then set off on a breakaway march, making their way as far as nearby Bridge Street, outside Westminster tube station, where cordons were put in place to detain them. 40 people were arrested.
