U.K. Gov’t to Ban Activist Group Palestine Action After Air Force Base Breach

HeadlineJun 23, 2025

In the United Kingdom, the group Palestine Action is leading a major protest in London today amid reports the Labour government of Keir Starmer will announce a ban on the direct action group under Britain’s Terrorism Act. This comes after two Palestine Action activists breached the country’s largest air force base on Friday and damaged two fighter planes in protest of Britain’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza. The activists also sprayed red paint into the jets’ engines and on the runaway to “symbolize Palestinian bloodshed.”
