Four people arrested after aircraft vandalised at RAF Brize Norton
- On June 20, two Palestine Action activists broke into RAF Brize Norton, damaging two Voyager aircraft; three suspects were arrested on terror charges in London and Newbury on June 26.
- Since the Gaza war outbreak, Palestine Action has targeted Israeli-linked sites and criticized UK refuelling of US/Israeli jets to disrupt military support.
- Activists used electric scooters to reach two jets, spraying red paint into turbine engines with fire extinguishers and damaging aircraft with crowbars, as evidence shows.
- Following the incident, the UK government plans to introduce a ban on Palestine Action next week and has initiated a security review across all defence sites.
- Following parliamentary approval, the upcoming ban will criminalize support for Palestine Action, punishable by up to 14 years in prison beginning next Friday.
