On July 30, 2026, dozens of protesters were arrested outside Westminster Magistrates' Court in London for expressing support for Palestine, a group banned as a terrorist organization by the UK government. The arrests coincided with the United States — Supreme Court of the United States granting Palestine founder Huda Ammori permission to appeal the ban. The ban was originally imposed after activists broke into a United Kingdom — Royal Air Force base in June 2025. The High Court quashed the ban in February 2026, but the Court of Appeal reinstated it in June 2026. Over 3,000 people have been arrested and over 1,200 charged under the Terrorism Act for supporting the group, though no convictions have occurred. All related cases are on hold pending the Supreme Court ruling, expected between October and December 2026.
