US EditionTerror Arrests After Vandalism of Planes at RAF Base
- On 6 June 2025, Palestine Action activists sprayed paint and damaged two military planes at RAF Brize Norton, England's largest airbase.
- In response to the incident and the group's increasingly confrontational tactics, the UK government moved to designate Palestine Action as a banned terrorist organisation under anti-terror legislation.
- Four individuals—including a 29-year-old woman, two London men aged 36 and 24, and a 41-year-old woman—were arrested on suspicion of terrorism-related offenses six days after the act.
- Palestine Action described the proscription as an attempt to suppress peaceful protests aimed at interrupting arms shipments to Israel and called on people to stand with them against what they consider an unjust crackdown on their activism.
- The ban on Palestine Action support, punishable by up to 14 years in prison, is set to come into effect imminently, signaling stronger enforcement against the group.
