Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) utterly condemns the grotesque decision to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorists, which threatens all of our freedoms and democratic rights. The government has chosen to redefine the meaning of terrorism in a way that serves to criminalise dissent. If this ban remains in place, it will be unlike any previous proscription. The …
A court has decided today to postpone the trial of Chris Nineham and Ben Jamal. There will be a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday to find a date for the trial.

The ruling today from the High Court, declining to block the British government’s sale of deadly F-35 parts to Israel during its genocide in Gaza is a disgraceful abdication of this government’s obligations under international law.

The Palestine coalition welcomes the ruling of the Court of Appeal that legislation granting the police enhanced powers to restrict protests was introduced unlawfully by the former Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

The grotesque statements by US President Donald Trump – that the US will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and forcibly remove the Palestinian population of more than 2 million – have exposed the long-standing Israeli plan for ethnic cleansing. For more than a year, Israel and its supporters have denied that the true aim of …
