A protest has taken place in the centre of Cardiff just yards from the Principality Stadium where Wales are taking on South Africa on Saturday afternoon.

Crowds gathered near Cardiff Central train station, with many holding placards with messages on them and some holding up Palestine flags. The protest was in support of Palestine Action - a British pro-Palestinian group. The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group earlier this year under the UK’s Terrorism Act 2000.

Protest organisers are challenging moves to clamp down on people in Britain protesting about what the International Criminal Court and a UN commission has declared is Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
