Mohammed Malik

Mohammed Malik, aged 28, is one of five Palestine Action activists who face potential terrorism-linked sentencing. Malik, along with Brendon O’Hagan, Amanda Kelly, Hmeera Atiqnisar, and Alma Yaniv, were found guilty of causing significant damage to a Barclays Bank branch in Burnley in August 2024. The group targeted the bank due to its financial holdings. The activists are currently awaiting a court ruling on whether terrorism sentencing provisions will be applied to their case, a development described as 'very unusual'. This situation highlights the increasing scrutiny and potential severity of legal consequences for activists involved in direct action protests related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
