UN Urges UK to Repeal 'Disproportionate' Palestine Action Ban
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 25 – George Monbiot joins protests opposing the UK government's terror ban on Palestine Action, with over 200 arrests made under the Terrorism Act since July 5, activists say.
- The United Nations' human rights chief, Volker Turk, described the UK's ban on Palestine Action as a "disturbing" misuse of counter-terrorism legislation.
- Turk called the ban "disproportionate and unnecessary," limiting rights related to freedom of expression and assembly.
- He emphasized that actions classified as terrorism should meet specific international standards and should not criminalize peaceful protests.
- Turk urged the UK government to repeal the ban and stop investigations against arrested protesters connected to Palestine Action, as it hinders fundamental freedoms.
