  13. UN #HumanRights chief criticises UK #PalestineAction ban

    by Sam Francis
    July 25, 2025

    " 'The UK government's ban on Palestine Action is a 'disturbing' misuse of counter-terrorism legislation, the United Nations' human rights chief has warned.

    "Volker Turk urged the government to lift the ban on the group, calling it 'disproportionate and unnecessary.'

    "Earlier this month, Palestine Action was proscribed by the UK Government under the #TerrorismAct2000 after activists claimed responsibility for spraying two military aircraft with red paint causing an estimated £7m worth of damage.

    "The decision is currently being challenged in the High Court with a judgment due at the end of the month. The Home Office has been contacted for a comment.
    Palestine Action ban 'abuse of power', court told

    "The ban means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

    "More than 170 people have been arrested since the ban was introduced, under the #TerrorismAct of 2000.

    "Turk, who has been the UN's high commissioner for human rights since 2022, said the ban 'appears disproportionate and unnecessary'.

    " 'It limits the rights of many people involved with and supportive of Palestine Action who have not themselves engaged in any underlying criminal activity but rather exercised their rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association,' Turk said.

    " 'As such, it appears to constitute an impermissible restriction on those rights that is at odds with the UK's obligations under international human rights law.' "

  14. Met warns against supporting proscribed groups ahead of #London #protests

    Officers to monitor chants and conduct at #PalestineCoalition and counter-protests in Westminster

    Joe Hadden
    Friday 18 July 2025

    "The Metropolitan Police has warned that anyone showing support for proscribed organisations during planned protests in London this weekend could face arrest under #terrorism laws.

    "An increased police presence is expected in Westminster on Saturday when a number of demonstrations are due to take place, including a large-scale march by the Palestine Coalition and a static counter-protest by Stop the Hate.

    "The Met said it also anticipates further protest activity in support of the recently proscribed group #PalestineAction, which is now banned under the #TerrorismAct.

    "Seventy people were arrested at similar demonstrations in #ParliamentSquare over the past two weekends, and the location of any action this Saturday is yet to be confirmed.

    "Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who is leading the policing operation, said officers are experienced in managing events of this nature but warned that those who use the protests as an opportunity to express support for proscribed groups risk serious legal consequences.

    " 'This Saturday’s Palestine Coalition protest is the first large-scale event of its kind since the proscription of Palestine Action and I want to make sure the implications of that change in the law are fully understood,' he said.

    " 'Nobody will be committing an offence by simply supporting the Palestinian cause, taking part in the march or carrying flags, banners or other signs providing they don’t stray into hate speech or other offences.

    " 'However, those who see this as an opportunity to test the limits of the law by expressing support for Palestine Action, whether at a standalone protest or as part of the Palestine Coalition protest, will likely be committing an offence and will very likely be arrested.'

    "He added: 'I would urge those people to consider the seriousness of being arrested under the Terrorism Act and the very real long-term implications – from travel, to employment, to finances – that such an arrest is likely to have for their future.'

    "Mr Adelekan also said the force is continuing to investigate '#OffensiveChanting' that took place at #GlastonburyFestival and has been repeated at recent protests in London.

    "He said officers would assess chants at Saturday’s protest 'based on the specific circumstances' – noting that words shouted generally during the march may not constitute an offence, but could do so if directed at individuals in a way likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

    " 'At previous protests, the area between the main march and any counter protest has seen the most heated exchanges. Officers will be particularly alert to conduct, including chanting, in this area and will be working with stewards to ensure crowds keep moving past this point,' he said.

    " 'Where they become aware of behaviour that crosses the line from protest into criminality they will intervene and take appropriate action.'

    "He said the best way for protesters to stay within the law is to avoid 'threatening, abusive and insulting language' or any support for banned groups. [!!!]

    "The Palestine Coalition march will begin at #VictoriaEmbankment and proceed via #WestminsterBridge, #YorkRoad, #WaterlooBridge, #TheStrand, and #Whitehall, where speeches will be held."

  15. EU enlargement: What’s in it for European businesses?

    A larger EU Single Market could increase trade opportunities, strengthen supply chains and expand the pool of skilled workers available to European companies.

    EU enlargement commissioner Marta Kos has urged businesses to invest in candidate countries, while survey findings from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise reveal that many European companies remain hesitant.

  25. “The commissioners argue that even with this step, data reflects the issues surrounding bike accidents [sic] are more tied to those 13 years and older, not young children, and that this move won't have a major impact as far as safety on the roads.

    “They also voted to recommend that the City Council adopt other rules that will keep streets safe, such as prohibiting passengers on e-bikes for anyone under the age of 16 and limiting Class 2 E-bikes for anyone under the age of 16.”

  26. "Although even the commissioners shared some hesitation, they did vote to recommend [Carlsbad] city council still impose the minimum age requirement as a first step.

    "They are also recommending council adopt a rule to prohibit passengers for anyone under 16 and look into lobbying the state to create even more protections surrounding e-bikes.”
