US EditionHundreds of people set to defy arrest warnings in support of Palestine Action
More than 1,000 protesters plan peaceful civil disobedience in London against Palestine Action's proscription, facing potential arrest under UK anti-terror laws, organizers said.
- On Saturday 6 September 2025, over 1,000 protesters planned to gather peacefully in Parliament Square to support Palestine Action despite arrest risks.
- The protest followed the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror group, making membership or support a criminal offense under the Terrorism Act.
- Police have arrested hundreds, including disabled and elderly people, often under terror laws, causing internal dissent and emotional strain among officers.
- Prosecutors seek six to nine year sentences for activists, while Amnesty International called legal threats against peaceful protesters “absolutely horrifying” and warned arrests breach international law.
- The protest and ongoing prosecutions highlight tensions between civil liberties and law enforcement capacity, as police face burnout enforcing an unpopular ban amid calls to drop charges.
