Police in London have arrested 139 people after hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the United States Embassy to oppose a government ban on Palestine Action and express support for the organisation.

The crowd assembled outside the embassy to challenge the UK government's decision to outlaw the group, turning out in significant numbers to publicly demonstrate solidarity.

turning out= 動詞片語,指「大批到場」、「出面參與(活動或抗議)」。

According to reports, the majority of the 139 arrests were made on suspicion of expressing support for a proscribed organisation. Under British law, a proscribed group is officially banned, meaning that showing public support or allegiance to it can lead directly to criminal detention.
