Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025

Debate

Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2025

Contribution

The Government have also assessed that Palestine Action prepares for terrorism. The organisation has provided practical advice to assist its members with conducting significant levels of property damage at targets across the UK to further its cause. Let me give noble Lords an example. Palestine Action released an “undercover manual” which encourages its members to create small groups or cells and provides guidance about how to conduct activity against private companies and government buildings. The manual explains how to operate covertly and evade arrest, and provides a link to a website also created by Palestine Action that contains a map of target locations across the United Kingdom. The Government have assessed that Palestine Action promotes and encourages terrorism. This includes glorification of its attacks involving serious property damage on social media.
