The formal process for banning Palestine Action has begun under UK anti-terrorism laws. Yvette Cooper laid a statutory instrument before parliament, citing the group's violent actions as reasons for proscription. Cooper noted Palestine Action's involvement in attacks, including a significant incident at a Thales factory that resulted in over £1 million in damages. The proscription order also includes two other organizations, Maniacs Murder Cult and Russian Imperial Movement. Parliament will debate and vote on the order, which cannot selectively proscribe organizations listed in the instrument.
