At least 60 people in London are set to be prosecuted for showing support for the recently banned Palestine Action group, following more than 700 arrests since early July. The Metropolitan Police have announced arrangements to investigate and prosecute significant numbers of individuals each week, with 522 people detained at a protest last weekend alone. Those charged under terrorism laws could face up to six months in prison and other consequences. The government banned Palestine Action after the group claimed responsibility for damaging military aircraft, citing concerns over violence and public safety. However, critics including international organizations and political parties have raised concerns that the crackdown threatens free speech and may be an overreach of the law.
