Palestine Action to be banned after RAF base break in (BBC, 2025-06-20)

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn81g4e0nlyo
------

>> The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, effectively branding them as a terrorist organisation, the BBC understands.

>> The decision comes as a security review begins at military bases across the UK, after pro-Palestinian activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and sprayed two military planes with red paint.

>> A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: "When our government fails to uphold their moral and legal obligations, it is the responsibility of ordinary citizens to take direct action."

>> Under UK law, the home secretary has the power to proscribe an organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 if they believe it is "concerned with terrorism".

>> But Amnesty International UK said it was "deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups."
