Police officers and council workers swooped on the protest camp - set up by the late Brian Haw over 10 years ago - on Monday night.
It was the latest in a series of attempts by the council to evict activists from the green opposite the House of Commons.
But lawyers for campaigner Maria Gallastegui, a long-standing protester at the site, said today that it had not ended her protest.
Just hours before the eviction, the High Court had granted Ms Gallastegui an injunction allowing her to continue her "peace-strike protest" at the site.
The Metropolitan Police agreed not to take any action against her under Part III of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act, which specifically governs the use of Parliament Square.
The Act came into force on December 19 but lawyers quickly challenged it in the courts because Westminster Council refused to say it wouldn't move against Ms Gallastegui over Christmas.
The council was ordered not to take any action against her until the judicial review was finished.
Bindmans Solicitors, which represents Ms Gallastegui, argues that the Act is unlawful and therefore any evictions made under it are also unlawful.
Ms Gallastegui's solicitor Paul Ridge said: "The court was told nothing of the police or council's plans and true intentions.
"Hours before clearing the area Westminster Council had told the court they needed to have the hearing dealt with quickly and preferably before the end of February.
"The need for speed was assumed to derive from the number of people protesting as the legal arguments applied to all people protesting, not just Maria Gallastegui, yet all the time they were secretly planning to clear others from the area.
"This is a cynical disregard of the rule of law, particularly when the removals took place at time when those protesters could not get legal assistance. Others have the protection of the law and it is plainly wrong to treat others differently to Maria Gallastegui."

One of the four string players suspended by the London Philharmonic Orchestra for demanding a ban on the Israel Philharmonic is launching a case for discrimination against her orchestra. Sarah Streatfield claims she has suffered prejudice as a consequence of her beliefs. She is represented by Bindman’s Solicitors, a firm associated with pro-Palestinian causes*.
Meanwhile, a pro-Israel group of lawyers, led by Jonathan Turner, has written to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, asking him to prosecute those who disrupted the Israel Philharmonic concert at the Proms.
Both actions are unnecessary. The LPO management has been slack in not reinstating the players by now and has damaged its reputation for competence. On the pro-Israel side, there is no point other than counter-propaganda to purse the offenders of last summer’s melee. The whole issue should have been long buried and forgotten by now.
*The Guardian graciously refers to me as ‘a pro-Israel writer and broadcaster’. I’m not sure what they are trying to imply. I am pro-Israel as I am pro-France. I love and have links with both countries. What I think of their governments and policies is altogether another matter. The Guardian’s shorthand is efficient but potentially misleading.
