Palestine Action activist says jury verdicts were vindication of cause

It is plain to see that the British public do not want their citizens to be scapegoated for this Labour government's political aims, they do not want to be criminalised for supporting a people's inalienable right to freedom, to dignity, and to self-determination.

UN compares UK's Palestine Action ban with human rights restrictions in Russia

The UK's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation has been likened to authoritarian crackdowns in Russia by a UN expert. The UN special rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights, Professor Ben Saul, said the UK government's ban on the direct action protest group is an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction on fundamental human rights. In evidence submitted to the High Court, he warned that the move sets a precedent for further crackdown on other protest movements in the UK, such as climate activists.
