Dr Fiona Godlee, the former editor of the British Medical Journal, was amongst at least 14 health workers reportedly arrested during what organisers described as a "peaceful" Palestine Action protest in Parliament Square in London.

The arrests on 6 September of the medical professionals, including doctors, occurred as they held signs stating "I oppose Genocide. I support Palestine Action" according to Health for Extinction Rebellion (HfXR).
