US EditionSix charged with terror offences over support for Palestine Action
- Six people, including a Scottish man, were charged with terrorism offences linked to supporting Palestine Action and face court at Westminster on Thursday.
- The charges follow Palestine Action's proscription as a terrorist group by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on 5 July, after paint was daubed on RAF jets causing £7 million in damage.
- The accused allegedly arranged public protests and managed 13 Zoom meetings supporting Palestine Action between July and August, with over 700 arrests since the group's ban.
- Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan explained that the charges arose from an active investigation and highlighted that those convicted under the Terrorism Act could face serious repercussions.
- Last month, Palestine Action obtained approval to legally contest the ban, which remains active and is scheduled for review by the High Court in November; meanwhile, a demonstration expected to draw over 1,000 participants is planned for Saturday.
