The home secretary has again defended the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group, saying it is more than "a regular protest group known for occasional stunts".
Writing in the Observer, Yvette Cooper said the group had claimed responsibility for incidents that saw those allegedly involved subsequently charged with a range of crimes, including violent disorder and aggravated burglary.
She added that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had assessed these charges have a "terrorism connection".
Her comments come after the Metropolitan Police said on Friday that a further 60 people would be prosecuted for showing support for Palestine Action.
More than 700 people have been arrested since the group was banned by the government on 5 July - including more than 500 at a demonstration in central London last week.
