UK Government Moves to Ban Palestine Action Under Terrorism Law

Date:

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said on Monday that she will ban activist group Palestine Action, saying its “long history of unacceptable criminal damage” now meets the threshold for terrorism under UK law.

If approved by Parliament, an order—due to be laid on June 30—would make it a criminal offence to be a member of, or to express support for, the group.
