Terrorism arrests in UK surged by 660% after Palestine Action ban

LONDON: Arrests for terrorism offenses in the UK have spiked by a massive 660 percent year-on-year due to support for Palestine Action, new government figures show. The pro-Palestine group was listed as a terrorist organization and banned in July. Now any public demonstration of support for the group is outlawed, and hundreds of protesters — who have used the slogan “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” — opposing the ban have been arrested in recent months, with the act now an offense under UK anti-terrorism legislation.
