0h 23min, jun 23, 2025 y - Palestine Action to be Banned

Description:

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said she will proscribe Palestine Action under anti-terror law.

It comes days after activists from the group broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and spray-painted two military planes red - an incident Cooper called "disgraceful".

The move effectively brands the group a terrorist organisation and, if passed in Parliament, would make membership of and support of the group illegal.

Palestine Action called the government's action "unhinged".

Cooper's announcement came as the group held a protest in central London, with hundreds in attendance and 13 arrested as scuffles with police broke out.
