Yvette Cooper’s Palestine Action warning ahead of planned protest

  • Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has warned the public against supporting Palestine Action, stating it is "not a non-violent organisation" and citing "disturbing information" about its future plans.
  • The group was proscribed after claiming responsibility for causing £7 million in damage to two Voyager aircraft at RAF Brize Norton.
  • Supporting Palestine Action is now a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act 2000, carrying a penalty of up to 14 years in prison.
  • A High Court ruling refused to temporarily pause the ban, though a challenge by co-founder Huda Ammori will proceed to a three-day hearing in November.
  • Over 200 people were arrested last month in protests across the UK following the proscription, with a mass demonstration against the ban planned for Saturday.
