In June 2025, the UK government designated Palestine Action a terrorist organization under the Terrorism Act 2000, marking a significant political move against Palestine solidarity activism. The government, complicit in the Gaza genocide through military support, has used anti-terror laws to criminalize non-violent protests, exposing activists to severe penalties. This escalation aims to suppress dissent rather than address the UK’s role in the conflict. The application of such laws raises concerns of political imprisonment, as they disproportionately target peaceful activists and undermine legal protections.
