Several pro-Palestine protesters were arrested outside the Labour Party's conference in Liverpool during a demonstration calling for solidarity with Palestine Action, a group that has been banned in the United Kingdom, according to Anadolu Agency.

The protest took place as Labour, the UK's ruling party, held its annual conference in the city, drawing demonstrators seeking to draw attention to the Palestinian cause and to the government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action.

Details on the exact number of arrests, the charges involved, or the specific conduct that led to police intervention were not immediately available in the initial report.

The banning of Palestine Action has been a point of contention among activists and civil liberties groups, some of whom have argued the designation restricts legitimate protest activity, while the government has defended the move on security grounds.

Demonstrations tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have continued to take place at political events across the UK, reflecting the issue's prominence in domestic political debate.

Labour officials have not issued a specific public response to the protest outside their conference at the time of writing.
