Banning Palestine Action was justified by falsely claiming the group had committed three acts of "terrorism". Now, those claims are completely falling apart

The first supposed "terror" attack was an action in 2022 in Thales, Glasgow, when five activists scaled the roof of the weapons factory. They were charged with breach of the peace. It was later exposed as never being considered terrorism by Police Scotland.

The second was an action against Elbit's weapons factory in Kent, where actionists allegedly caused over a £1million in damages. After Palestine Action was banned, the CPS dropped the most serious charge of 'aggravated burglary' in this case. It is yet to go to trial.

The third was the Filton action. The first six to go on trial were acquitted by a jury of aggravated burglary and some counts of violent disorder. The jury did not convict any of them of any offences, showing they didn't believe their actions were criminal.

This has left the proscription case against Palestine Action in tatters. It is only a matter of time before the ban will be lifted.
