US EditionFour Arrests Outside Parliament as Palestine Action Protests Against Its Ban
- On Wednesday, four people were arrested during a Palestine Action protest outside Parliament in Westminster, including a man who blocked Downing Street gates with a mobility scooter.
- The arrests came after a series of recent actions conducted by Palestine Action targeting Israeli arms companies, coinciding with the government’s decision to officially designate the group as a terrorist organization under the 2000 legislation.
- Protesters, including Emma Kamio—who attached herself to a suitcase outside Parliament—oppose the ban and accuse the government of suppressing legitimate protest and free expression.
- The House of Commons voted 385 to 26 in favor of proscribing Palestine Action, making membership or support punishable by up to 14 years in prison under counter-terror laws.
- This development suggests intensifying government efforts to criminalize Palestine Action's disruptive tactics, while supporters decry the move as an attack on protest rights and free speech.
