The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/aug/21/palestine-action-barclays-five-will-not-be-sentenced-as-terrorists. I'm relieved to hear it! No one sentenced for #criminal #damage as part of a #PalestineAction #protest should be labelled a #terrorist by a #judge. Membership of the #organisation is NOT #terrorism, no matter what the #Labour #Government thinks!

“JURY REFUSES TO CONVICT SEVEN PALESTINE ACTION ‘ORGANISERS’ FOR ISRAELI ARMS FACTORY RAID”

by Dania Akkad in Declassified UK

@Declassified_UK
@uk_politics

“Jurors in an eight-week trial of Palestine Action activists who allegedly planned a raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory were discharged on Wednesday.

It came after they told the court they had been unable to reach verdicts for seven of the defendants.

An eighth defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found guilty of criminal damage by a majority of nine to one jurors”

Palestine Action was ‘proscribed’ in July 2025. The ban was overturned in February 2026 by the High Court, which found it unlawful. Shabana Mahmood – still Home Secretary despite a change of PM – was allowed to go to the Court of Appeals. The appeals court overturned the High Court’s decision in June 2026”

#CraigMurray | The Morass of Injustice

Part of Charlotte Head’s closing speech in the Filton trial:

"If this was a shop that we’d broken into, which I would never do by the way, then you’d expect the owner to come to court. You’d expect him to list all of the items that were damaged, and describe the impact it’s had on his business. But where is Elbit? You’ve heard a very detailed and very boring inventory of the tools we brought to dismantle the weapons. You even have – behind Tab 10 – pictures with information like the brand and the weight and the material of every single tool. So where is that information about the weapons that we dismantled? If this case is supposedly only about damage, then where is the inventory?"

UK watchdog says #CounterterrorismLaw could hit #protests, #FreeSpeech

By Sam Tabahriti, April 29, 2026

LONDON, (Reuters) - "Britain's terrorism watchdog on Wednesday said the government risked stretching ‌counterterrorism laws beyond their original purpose by using such powers against #ActivistGroups, blurring the line between protests and national security threats.

"In his annual report examining the use of Britain's terrorism legislation during 2024, independent reviewer Jonathan ​Hall said the subsequent banning of pro-Palestine group Palestine Action had exposed "real uncertainty" over whether ​serious damage to property alone should qualify as terrorism.

"The law's broad wording ⁠could without clearer limits risk pulling protest activity into terrorism policing, even where there is ​no intent to harm people, Hall said.

" 'There is no legal authority on what 'serious damage to property' ​means,' Hall wrote, saying the definition could extend beyond violent attacks to acts such as criminal damage, depending on how courts interpret the threshold."

Interactive #ProtestMap

Posted 31 October 2025

"Our new interactive map reveals how many countries misuse police weapons such as rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, and batons to harass, intimidate, punish, or drive away protesters, shutting down their right to peaceful assembly. It also includes protest restrictions in the #UK.

"Our right to protest under threat across the world

"Authorities across the world are increasingly resorting to unlawful use of force and repressive legislation to crush protests. We have launched this interactive digital map to expose the shocking rise in the repression of protesters by states across the globe.

"This map shows how governments treat protests as a threat rather than a right and how law enforcement officials view their role as being to suppress and subdue protesters rather than to facilitate their rights. As a result, thousands of people are being unlawfully dispersed, arrested, beaten and even killed during demonstrations. They also face devastating consequences afterwards, just for participating in protests.

"In the UK, police have made over 2100 arrests under the #TerrorismAct 2000 for peacefully protesting the banning of #PalestineAction in the UK. It is a violation of the UK’s international obligations. And it simply can’t go unchallenged."

Spotlight on the #USA:

"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY IS IN DANGER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

- Protest is treated as a threat
- Unlawful force is used against protesters and less-lethal weapons are misused
- Militarization takes place"

Britain's High Court says government acted illegally in outlawing #protest group #PalestineAction

By Jill Lawless

LONDON (AP) — "Britain’s High Court ruled Friday that the government’s decision to outlaw the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful, but it kept the ban in place pending another hearing while the government prepares an appeal.

"Judges Victoria Sharp, Jonathan Swift and Karen Steyn said 'the nature and scale of Palestine Action’s activities' did not meet the 'level, scale and persistence' that would justify proscription.

"The judges said they were 'satisfied that the decision to proscribe Palestine Action was disproportionate.'

"The government banned Palestine Action after activists broke into a Royal Air Force base in June to protest British military support for Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in #Gaza, which killed tens of thousands of #Palestinians.

"The government declared the pro-Palestinian direct-action group a terrorist organization alongside the likes of al-Qaida and Hamas, making membership in or support for Palestine Action a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Since then, more than 2,700 people have been arrested at protests for holding signs saying 'I support Palestine Action.' Almost 700 have been charged under the Terrorism Act, although no one has yet been convicted.' "

#UKGovernment expands #police use of #FacialRecognition vans

by Kate Whannel, August 13, 2025

"More live facial recognition (#LFR) vans will be rolled out across seven police forces in England to locate suspects for crimes including sexual offences, violent assaults and homicides, the Home Office has announced.

"The forces will get access to 10 new vans equipped with cameras, which scan the faces of people walking past and check them against a list of wanted people.

"The government says the technology has been used in London to make 580 arrests in 12 months, including 52 registered sex offenders who breached their conditions.

"However, campaign group #BigBrotherWatch said the 'significant expansion of the #SurveillanceState' was 'alarming'.

"Live facial recognition was first used in #England and #Wales in 2017 during the Uefa Champions League final football match in Cardiff.

"Since then its use has largely been confined to #SouthWales, #London and #Essex including at a Beyoncé concert to scan for paedophiles and terrorists [like elderly Palestine Action activists!]

"The government is now funding 10 vans equipped with LFR to be shared between seven forces, approximately doubling the number of vehicles.

"The seven forces are Greater #Manchester, #WestYorkshire, #Bedfordshire, #Surrey, #Sussex, #ThamesValley and #Hampshire.

"The technology identifies people by taking measurements of facial features including the distance between the eyes and the length of the jawline and then comparing the data to to an existing watchlist.

"Each van will be staffed with a trained officer who checks the matches identified by the technology.

"Simultaneously, the government is holding a consultation on what safeguards are needed to "ensure transparency and public confidence", ahead of drawing up a new legal framework.

"Big Brother Watch is bringing a legal challenge against the #MetPolice's use of the technology, alongside #ShaunThompson, who was wrongly identified by an LFR camera.

#Rebecca Vincent, interim director of Big Brother Watch, said: 'Police have interpreted the absence of any legislative basis authorising the use of this intrusive technology as carte blanche to continue to roll it out unfettered, despite the fact that a crucial judicial review on the matter is pending.

" ;The #HomeOffice must scrap its plans to roll out further live facial recognition capacity until robust legislative safeguards are established.'

"Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti told the BBC the technology was 'incredibly intrusive' and 'some would say this is yet another move towards a total #surveillance society'."
