The UK is taking political prisoners to evade accountability for genocide

AI Summary

long article 6 min

In June 2025, the UK government designated Palestine Action, a UK-based group, as a terrorist organization under the Terrorism Act 2000. Palestine Action members have engaged in non-violent direct action against facilities linked to Israel's arms industry operating in the UK, protesting the UK's role in the Gaza conflict. The article asserts that the UK government's action is a political move to evade accountability for its involvement in the Gaza conflict, including providing political and military support to Israel. The author contends that the UK is obstructing international accountability and using anti-terror laws to suppress dissent and imprison political opponents, drawing parallels to historical examples of politically motivated persecution. The article was published on January 15, 2026, by a member of the Governing Council of Law for Palestine.
