UK Bans Palestine Action Under Terrorism Law After RAF Base Damage

Group proscribed after activists vandalised military aircraft, facing jail for support

The UK has officially banned the pro‑Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization under the 2000 Terrorism Act, following activists’ break‑in at RAF Brize Norton and damage to military aircraft.

Membership or support for the group now carries penalties of up to 14 years in prison, a move that critics say conflates protest with terrorism.
