The British parliament passed a vote on 2 July proscribing the Palestine Action activist group as a terrorist organization, a move strongly condemned by various groups and individuals as “grotesque,” “chilling,” and an “unprecedented legal overreach.”

In parliament, 385 voted in favor of the proscription, while 26 voted against it.

UK Security Minister Dan Jarvis said in parliament that Palestine Action is not “a legitimate protest group.”

“People engaged in lawful protest do not need weapons. People engaged in lawful protest do not throw smoke bombs and fire pyrotechnics around innocent members of the public.
