Terror Arrests After Vandalism of Planes at RAF Base
- On June 20, four people were arrested in connection with Palestine Action's vandalism of two military planes at RAF Brize Norton in England.
- The arrests followed a protest on June 6 where activists sprayed paint and caused damage, and the group was targeted for proscription under terrorism laws.
- Palestine Action activists gained undetected access to the airbase and disrupted operations for six days before the arrest of a 29-year-old woman and three others for terrorism offenses.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated Palestine Action’s methods became more aggressive with a willingness to use violence, while the group claimed the ban aims to suppress non-violent protests disrupting arms flow to Israel.
- The UK government plans to proscribe Palestine Action imminently, making membership and support criminal offenses punishable by up to 14 years in prison, signaling a political move amid lobbying by pro-Israel and arms interests.
