🇵🇸UN experts urge United Kingdom not to misuse terrorism laws against protest group Palestine Action | OHCHR
UN experts* today urged the United Kingdom not to ban the “direct action” group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.
“We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.

🇵🇸UK designates Palestine Action as 'terrorist organization'
British lawmakers voted on Wednesday to designate the #PalestineAction group as a "terrorist organization."
Palestine Action, which identifies as a direct action movement employing disruptive tactics, has repeatedly targeted UK-based companies linked to Israel, most notably the Israeli 'defense firm' Elbit Systems, which it has labeled its “main target.”
The Labour government accused the group of causing millions of pounds in damages through various actions, including at a Thales factory in 2022, an Elbit facility last year, and most recently at a Royal Air Force base in southern England, an incident that prompted the decision to proscribe the group.
The proscription would formally classify Palestine Action as a "terrorist organization" under British law, placing it on the same legal footing as groups like Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, and criminalizing membership or support.

🇵🇸 We were inside the court when #PalestineAction challenged the government's decision to ban them as a terrorist organisation. Declassified UK's Phil Miller said the judge overseeing the case seemed unbothered about the influence of a foreign government and Israeli weapons firms in pushing for the ban.
After a dramatic day at the high court, the judge later ruled that he would not be granting a temporary reprieve to Palestine Action's ban and they will be on the terror list as of midnight tonight.

🇵🇸Terrorism ban on Palestine Action ruled unlawful by High Court |DeclassifiedUK
"In a hearing on Friday, Dame Victoria Sharp, one of the judges, said there had been “very significant interference with the right to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly”.
The court, she said, considered the proscription of the group “disproportionate”.
Despite the ruling, the group will remain proscribed until a further court order because it has “yet to hear argument on whether there should be a stay of any order setting aside the proscription order pending the possibility of appeal,” the judges said.
The judgment is a major blow for former home secretary Yvette Cooper as well as the Israeli arms companies who lobbied for a crackdown on the group.
It will be a relief for over 2,700 protesters who have been arrested for showing support for the group since the controversial ban"

🇵🇸 Israeli authorities confirmed that 430 activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla are en route to Israel after their vessels were intercepted in international waters on May 19.
87 have reportedly begun a hunger strike to protest their detention and show solidarity with Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
The Global Sumud Flotilla reported that all 54 of its boats were stopped roughly 250 nautical miles (460km) off the coast of Gaza, and said a total of 428 participants from over 40 countries had been detained.
Livestream footage from the flotilla showed soldiers firing shots at two of the boats, though the type of ammunition remains unclear and no casualties were reported.
The convoy departed from Türkiye on May 14 in a renewed effort to deliver aid to the starving population in the besieged Palestinian territory.

🇵🇸 Visible signs of torture on Global Sumud Flotilla activists upon arrival in Istanbul after their deportation from Israeli occupation detention.
“We were tortured. 180 people were systematically bashed and beaten. People had broken ribs, were sexually assaulted, tased in the face, and injected with unknown sedatives.”
Global Sumud Flotilla activist Juliet Lamont described severe abuse by Israeli occupation forces after activists attempting to break the siege on Gaza were attacked in international waters and abducted aboard prison ships.
Lamont said detainees were subjected to a “planned campaign of violence” aimed at terrifying activists and preventing future solidarity missions to Gaza.
She recounted being cable tied, water tortured, and sexually assaulted while held by Israeli forces before being transferred to Ashdod.
“They’ve broken our bones but they haven’t broken our soul,” Lamont said. “Free Palestine.”

🇵🇸Palestine Action activists sentenced as terrorists | Middle East Eye
A British judge has sentenced four #PalestineAction protesters as terrorists, handing them custodial sentences ranging from four to eight years.
The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during the prosecution.
Last month, jurors convicted Leona Kamio, Samuel Corner, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head of criminal damage in connection with a raid on an #Elbit Systems #UK plant near Bristol on 6 August 2024.
Two other activists, Jordan Devlin and Zoe Rogers, were cleared of the charges.
Elbit Systems is an Israeli arms manufacturer whose UK headquarters are based in Bristol.

🇵🇸The UK Court of Appeal has ruled that the government’s decision to ban the activist group Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation” is lawful.
The ruling overturned a previous High Court decision that had found the ban under the Terrorism Act 2000 to be unlawful and disproportionate.
The case follows legal challenges to the government’s proscription of the group, and the issue remains part of ongoing political and public debate in the UK.

On July 10, activist James “Fergie” Chambers was arrested in Ibiza, #Spain after the Trump administration requested his extradition.
Chambers, an heir to the #CoxCommunications family fortune, has used his vast inheritance to fund pro-Palestine organizations for years. The indictment accuses him of “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations.
#Fergie is being jailed because he uses his wealth to support Palestine and those suffering genocide in #Gaza,” wrote Chambers’ partner Stella Schnabel in a statement. “In short, he is facing political persecution for having dedicated his life to building a better society, rather than exploiting people and profiting from war. He should be with our family, continuing his important humanitarian and social advocacy work.
