Overview

• The Metropolitan Police said 64 people have been charged in relation to central London protests on 5 and 12 July, with appearances scheduled across several dates in October.
• Police report more than 700 arrests since the organisation was banned on 5 July, with 67 people charged to date and potential sentences of up to six months.
• Counter Terrorism Commander Dominic Murphy cautioned that showing support for a proscribed group carries serious consequences under the Terrorism Act, including impacts on travel and careers.
• Authorities cite Palestine Action’s claim of damaging RAF Brize Norton aircraft and links to an alleged assault at a South Gloucestershire business as reasons for the proscription.
• A High Court has granted permission for a judicial review of the ban set for later this year, and separate footage showed police stating a pro‑Palestine Action poster inside a private home is not an offence.
