Overview

• Metropolitan Police said a man was arrested in Parliament Square on 9 August on suspicion of a Section 12 Terrorism Act offence and was de-arrested when officers realised his T-shirt read 'Plasticine Action,' not 'Palestine Action.'
• Police recorded 532 detentions at the Westminster protest that day, and the force reports roughly 700 arrests since the group’s proscription in early July.
• Miles Pickering’s T-shirt mimicked the banned group’s logo with the plasticine character Morph and the line 'We oppose AI-generated animation,' and he is now selling the design to raise money for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
• Footage from a pro-Palestine rally in Glasgow showed another person in a 'Plasticine Action' shirt being spoken to by officers, and Police Scotland said no arrests were made at that event.
• Palestine Action was banned after activists sprayed military planes at RAF Brize Norton, and wearing or expressing support under Sections 12/13 carries potential penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
