The UK government has banned the activist group Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act, making public support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison, leading to mass arrests at protests in London. Over 500 people, many elderly and some disabled, were detained for holding signs or expressing solidarity, sparking accusations of government overreach and suppression of free speech.
Critics, including the UN and Amnesty International, argue that Palestine Action engages in nonviolent direct action and that labeling it as terrorism is unjust and politically motivated. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger condemn the arrests as punishing “thought crimes” and a defining example of the UK’s political leadership prioritizing loyalty to Israel over civil liberties.
