- British MPs voted 385-26 to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000, including neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups, with support punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
- Following the June 20 raid at RAF Brize Norton causing £7 million in damage, UK authorities proscribed Palestine Action alongside other groups, citing recent attacks and protests.
- Cooper condemns violence and criminal damage as unjustified, while Deshmukh warns the ban represents unprecedented legal overreach threatening free expression.
- Legal challenges ahead as the High Court holds an urgent Friday hearing, UN experts warn the ban unjust, and thousands protest outside Downing Street.
