The arrests of pro-Palestine activists have made up the majority of terrorism-related arrests in the UK since Palestine Action was proscribed in 2025, new statistics from the Home Office reveal.
The latest figures show a record high in terrorism-related arrests, with 2,867 arrests made in the year ending June 2026, up from 234 the previous year – a 1,553% increase. Of these arrests, 94 percent, or 3,630, were tied to alleged support for Palestine Action.
And how many of those were pensioners?
How many of those “terrorists” only act of “terror” was quietly holding up a piece of cardboard?
The police and government are the true terrorists of the British population.
The entire reason you must label a mundane act as terrorism is otherwise you cannot legally arrest the person engaging in it. Perhaps we should not have such a broad legal term “terrorist,” which allows authorities to do whatever they want with citizens. Especially when it’s easy to simply label an old grandma wearing a Free Palestine shirt as a terrorist.
Next, it becomes labeling anyone who uses a VPN; then it moves on to criticizing the Prime Minister. Eventually, it will be that 90% of terror arrests are people circumventing UK-censored content. They risked reading journalism focused on Israel.
Right, so are these people actually being arrested under Terrorism laws or is that News source just being inflammatory?
I would guess the latter.
If they were arresting so many people under the prevention of terrorism, we’d be under Martial Law right now.
They are actually being arrested.
Yep they are being arrested for supporting a proscribed organisation. They know what they are doing - it’s not like they accidently used that particular form of words.
