Palestine Action member hits out at ‘absurd’ government ban plan

  • A Palestine Action member has described the UK government's plan to proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation as "absurd."
  • Saeed Taji Farouky, the member, stated that such a move would undermine fundamental principles of British democracy and the rule of law.
  • The home secretary is expected to address Parliament on Monday regarding the potential proscription of Palestine Action.
  • This development follows an incident where Palestine Action activists breached RAF Brize Norton, spraying two planes with red paint.
  • Farouky justified the group's actions as an "escalation in tactics" aimed at disrupting the "material supply chain to genocide," while Israel denies genocide allegations.
  • Watch the video above.
