Critics say ban on activist group stifles freedom of speech and assembly and aims to curb pro-Palestine demonstrations.
In London, police arrested over 200 protesters supporting Palestine Action, now classified as a “terror organization” by the UK government, prompting criticism of the ban as an infringement on free speech and assembly. The arrests follow a series of protests against the ban, which has drawn support from over 350 academics who express concern about its implications for freedom of expression in the UK.
