AUG 26

US imposes sanctions on Palestine Action and other left-wing groups

Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori linked the US sanctions to the UK designation and called for the ban to be reversed.

A British court revoked Palestine Action's terrorist designation in February, but the decision was overturned on appeal in June.

The UK has arrested thousands of people for showing support for Palestine Action since the group was proscribed.

“By banning a direct action protest group under terrorism legislation for the first time in British history, Keir Starmer’s Government has created a blueprint for authoritarian governments around the world to suppress political dissent, and to criminalise British citizens who travel or live abroad.”
