Jeremy Corbyn at court in solidarity with Palestine Action protesters

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court to support protesters charged under anti-terrorism laws for their involvement with Palestine Action, a group recently banned as a terrorist organisation. Thirty-six individuals pleaded not guilty, while the Ministry of Justice faces a backlog of hundreds of related trials, with some potentially delayed until after 2026. The ban on Palestine Action, imposed by former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, is now being legally challenged, with the Court of Appeal recently allowing the group's co-founder to proceed with a judicial review. Meanwhile, nearly 2,000 people have been arrested in London over alleged support for the group, including a significant number of older protesters, as demonstrations continue and debate intensifies over the group's status and the government's response.
