An event supporting Palestine Action is set to draw in over 500 participants in London, despite the group's designation as a terrorist organization, making membership and support a criminal offense. The ban could lead to arrests under the Terrorism Act, with consequences including prison time and travel bans. The Metropolitan Police warned participants to expect potential arrests. Concurrently, marches organized by both supporters of Palestine Action and pro-Israeli groups are scheduled for central London on consecutive days.
More than 500 people are expected to hold up placards supporting the proscribed group in Parliament Square, as the ban on Palestine Action remains in effect.
The ban means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison under the Terrorism Act 2000.
