The British government is set to ban the direct action group Palestine Action under anti-terror legislation after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton earlier this month and spray-painted two planes.

The group said the airbase was targeted because flights leave there daily “for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East”. The activists damaged Airbus Voyager aircraft, which carry military cargo and refuel fighter jets and military planes.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said she will bring legislation to proscribe the group before Parliament on 30 June.
