U.K. Gov't to Ban Activist Group Palestine Action After Air Force Base Breach
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the United Kingdom, the group Palestine Action is leading a major
protest in London today amid reports the Labour government of Keir
Starmer will announce a ban on the direct action group under Britain's
Terrorism Act. This comes after two Palestine Action activists breached
the country's largest air force base on Friday and damaged two fighter
planes in protest of Britain's support for Israel's war on Gaza. The
activists also sprayed red paint into the jets' engines and on the
runaway to "symbolize Palestinian bloodshed."
