UK review of protest tactics expected to stop short of banning groups

The 240-page report by John Woodcock suggests proscribing groups causing mayhem and holding the public and workers hostage, without explicitly calling for the banning of named groups like Palestine Action or Just Stop Oil.

The report, presented to MPs with parliamentary privilege, aims to prevent defamation claims, focusing on disrupting tactics such as blocking roads and entrances, with over 40 recommendations to curb disruptive incidents.

Although not singling out groups for banning, Palestine Action, Just Stop Oil, and Extinction Rebellion are cited for using dangerous tactics, suggesting an extension of the approach used for banning terror groups to extreme protest groups.
