The Decision to Proscribe Palestine Action
The Decision to Proscribe Palestine Action
On 23 June 2025, the Home Secretary made a written ministerial statement in the House of Commons. She explained that she proposed to make an order adding Palestine Action to the list of proscribed organisations. In the statement, she described the attack on aircraft at Brize Norton as the latest in a long history of criminal damage by Palestine Action. The statement went on to record the Secretary of State’s views that Palestine Action had orchestrated a nationwide campaign of direct criminal action against businesses and institutions, including key national infrastructure and defence firms. The statement referred to other acts of damage said to have been caused by adherents to Palestine Action.
