The British government intends to use antiterrorism laws to classify Palestine Action, an activist organization, as a criminal entity. This decision follows the group's recent actions, in which activists damaged military planes to protest the UK’s support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Under the new measures, affiliation with Palestine Action will be treated similarly to associations with recognized terrorist organizations, carrying penalties of up to 14 years in prison. The situation escalated with police confrontations during protests supporting the group, reflecting rising tensions around the issue.
The UK government is declaring Palestine Action a criminal organization, equating it with terrorist groups, following recent activist actions that damaged military planes.
