UK Bans Pro-Palestinian Group After Airbase Attack | JQJO

The UK government announced a ban on the pro-Palestinian activist group Palestine Action, citing its members' actions, such as vandalizing military planes at RAF Brize Norton. The ban, enacted under anti-terrorism laws, makes membership or support a criminal offense punishable by up to 14 years in prison. This follows clashes between Palestine Action supporters and police in London and previous incidents like damage to a defense factory and a Trump golf resort. The government will present a draft order to Parliament next week for approval. The ban adds Palestine Action to a list of proscribed groups including Hamas and al-Qaeda.
