- The Metropolitan Police will recommence arresting individuals for displaying signs supporting Palestine Action.
- This decision reverses a pause in arrests that began in February after the High Court ruled the government's ban on the group unlawful.
- Arrests are resuming because the High Court's judgment will not take effect until the government's appeal against the ruling is heard, which is expected to take several months.
- Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman confirmed that supporting Palestine Action remains a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act while the proscription is still in place.
- Over 2,700 people have been arrested for allegedly supporting Palestine Action since its ban last year, with many trials currently on hold pending the outcome of the High Court appeal.
