The New Dark Age

Palestine Action have been granted permission to seek a Judicial Review to challenge the Government’s decision to ban them. But while legal action proceeds, the ban is still in place.

We’ve collected together answers to some of the common questions we’ve been asked after the ban on Palestine Action into a newly expanded guide to the proscription.

With police around the UK misuing counter terrorism powers, there is widespread confusion about what is lawful. We’ve collected answers to some of your most common questions, including:

• How can I support people facing trial for previous Palestine Action protests, so they don’t face the legal system alone?
• Is it lawful for the police to challenge people for having ‘Free Palestine’ flags and banners?
• What are the penalties for breaking the ban, and what does the law say about criticising the ban on Palestine Action?

As well as this expanded FAQ from Netpol, which builds on the guide we released at the beginning of July, CAGE International have released some excellent resources on the proscription.
