Palestine Action Ban Sparks Mass Arrests | JQJO

Police made 55 arrests at two protests in London and Cardiff against the government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. The group was banned last Saturday under the Terrorism Act 2000, making membership or support a criminal offense. Protesters displayed signs opposing the ban and the government's actions. The proscription followed incidents of damage to military property, prompting a security review. Critics argue the government misused the legislation.
