HeadlineJul 14, 2025

In Britain, police arrested at least 71 people in London, Cardiff and Manchester for publicly supporting Palestine Action, an anti-genocide direct action group that was recently banned under Britain’s Terrorism Act. It is now illegal to belong to the group or even express any support for the organization. Police in London said illegal acts include “chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos” related to Palestine Action. Individuals arrested could face up to 14 years in prison.
