Commenting on the arrest of Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired priest the Metropolitan Police commissioner said that the law "doesn't have an age limit".

More than 20 people have been arrested during a protest in London in support of Palestine Action, a group which has been banned under UK anti-terrorism laws.

Palestine Action is said to have set up a secret website to recruit supporters after the UK Government introduced a terror ban on the group. The organisation is claimed to be directing activists to a new website called Direct Action Training.
