- On July 16, 2025, Police Scotland arrested a 38-year-old man in Glasgow for displaying a poster supporting the proscribed group Palestine Action.

- Police had initially advised the man to remove the poster at his property in Shawlands, he complied, but officers returned to arrest and charge him two days later under terror law.

- The individual has been charged and is scheduled to face court proceedings in the future, while civil liberties organizations have criticized the ban on Palestine Action, arguing it wrongly equates protest with terrorism.
