London’s Metropolitan police say it has charged another 47 people with supporting Palestine Action, bringing the number of activists accused of backing the banned terrorist group to 114.
The accused, aged between 18 to 81, will appear in court on October 27 and 28, and face a possible maximum sentence of six months’ imprisonment if found guilty, the Met says in a statement.
The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terror group in July after two planes were vandalized at a Royal Air Force base, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage.
More than 700 people have been arrested, mostly at demonstrations, since the group was outlawed under the Terrorism Act 2000. A total of 114 of those detained have been charged.
Interior Minister Yvette Cooper has said the group had a “long history of unacceptable criminal damage.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
