Currently, we understand that the House of Commons vote on proscribing Palestine Action will take place on Wednesday 2 July and the government is seeking to have the ban in place by 4 July.

Here are some things you need to know netpol.org/2025/06/26/p...
What does a ban on Palestine Action mean in practice? The government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is being rushed through Parliament. It will be subject to a legal challenge, but legal action will take time and the impact on the movement will be immediate. Counter-terrorism laws give the police wide ranging and poorly defined powers, leaving a lot of room for police to abuse their power. Experience of previous counter-terror policing tells us that these powers are used in an overtly racist and Islamophobic way. What will be banned? It will become a criminal offence to: * be a member of or express support for Palestine Action. * to express a positive view of Palestine Action or be ‘reckless’ about whether what you say about them could encourage others to support them. * wear clothing or carry anything in public which could arouse reasonable suspicion that you are a supporter of Palestine Action. * post or share images in support of Palestine Action. * fundraise for or give money to Palestine Action. * All of the above can relate to things you're doing online and offline (e.g. on social media, in public message threads). Are there any exceptions to these rules? There is an exemption under Section 10 of the Terrorism Act, which is intended to protect people who are challenging the ban. That means you can still protest against the ban and talk about the official process to challenge it. However, you still need to consider whether your expression is “reckless as to whether the expression will encourage others to support the organisation”, and it will still be a crime to generally post positive messages about Palestine Action or to share their logos and imagery.
