continued……. Official figures confirm that 3,630 of these arrests, accounting for 94% of the total, were directly linked to alleged support for P*lastin's action following its formal ban in July 2025. The group became the first direct protest organization in British history to be designated as a banned terrorist group. Interior Ministry figures indicate that 704 arrests have led to formal charges so far, with 634 specifically charged under Sections 12 and 13 of the Sedition Act for expressing support or displaying symbols associated with the banned entity. Hoda Amori, the co-founder of P*lastin Action, received permission to challenge the legality of the ban, when a hearing will begin this week in the Supreme Court. Legal representatives of Amoris claim that the ban violates the rights of free expression and assembly under the European Convention on Human Rights. The BBC reported that its lawyers told the High Court that the ban on P*lastine Action had led to a "crisis of confidence" in Britain's counter-terrorism laws and caused unprecedented civil disobedience by law-abiding protesters. "Palestine's operation was banned on the basis of less than 1 percent of its operations over five years being assessed as falling within the outer limits of a definition of terrorism," said Raza Hussain KC, who represents Amory. According to the Metropolitan Police, 27 protesters were arrested during the hearing. Home Office figures seen by the BBC indicate that more than 4,000 arrests have been made so far at demonstrations where people held signs supporting the group.
