UK police arrested five members of the pro-Palestinian NGO, Defend Our Juries, for allegedly supporting the banned group Palestine Action. The arrests, made under the 2000 Terrorism Act, followed protests against Palestine Action's designation as a terrorist organization. Defend Our Juries condemned the arrests as an attack on free speech, while the police stated the arrests were part of an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation into Palestine Action's activities, including damage to a Royal Air Force base. The arrests have drawn criticism from international organizations like Amnesty International and the UN.
