Met Police warns of arrests at protest supporting terror org Palestine Action
“The fact that there are no hearings related to Palestine Action taking place at the court tomorrow makes the decision to continue with this event all the more nonsensical.”
The Metropolitan Police in London issued a warning on Wednesday that individuals attending a planned protest in support of Palestine Action could face arrest. The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organization in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in July 2026. The activist group Defend Our Juries intends to hold the protest on Thursday outside Westminster Magistrates' Court, despite the postponement of scheduled hearings related to Palestine Action. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine stated, "Expressing support for proscribed organizations is a criminal offence and anyone doing so can expect to be arrested." He emphasized that there are legal avenues to express views on the humanitarian situation in Gaza without engaging in criminal activity.
