UK Faces Civil Liberties Clash Over Palestine Action Proscription

Tensions are escalating in the UK following the government’s designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group, triggering widespread civil disobedience protests. The campaign “Defend Our Juries” has rallied more than 1,500 supporters in coordinated actions that mirror Extinction Rebellion tactics—mass arrests designed to overwhelm legal systems. Protesters have been urged to withhold ID, complicating police processing, with many drawing support from activists and public figures including author Sally Rooney. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is under mounting pressure both politically and legally, as co-founder Huda Ammori mounts a legal challenge that could undermine the ban. The clash now sits at the intersection of anti-terror policy and free expression, raising urgent constitutional questions.
