Hundreds of people gathered outside Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London to demonstrate in support of Palestine as sentencing was announced for four members linked to the group 'Palestine Action'. Police arrested more than a hundred protesters under anti-terrorism laws, citing support for a banned organization.

Protesters carried placards reading 'Saving lives is not terrorism' and 'I support Palestine Action'. The arrests occurred amid ongoing legal and political disputes over the status of Palestine Action. In February 2026, the UK High Court ruled that the government’s ban on the group was unlawful, but the government has maintained the prohibition while awaiting further proceedings.

The incident highlights continuing tensions in the UK over activism related to Palestine and the legal boundaries of political expression under counterterrorism legislation.
