BREAKING: Starmer regime uses Terror Act to arrest Filton 24 spokesperson
Police have today, 11 April 2026, arrested Lisa Minerva Luxx under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act. Luxx is a spokesperson for the ‘Filton 24 Defence Committee’ working to free Palestine Action activists imprisoned without trial for almost two years.
Filton 24 organiser arrested
The High Court ruled the government’s terrorism ban on Palestine Action unlawful. The government is appealing the decision, but the Filton 24 prisoners were arrested before the ban and are not charged with terrorism offences. Several have been acquitted and were granted bail while the Starmer regime tries to re-prosecute. At least one, former hunger striker Qesser Zuhrah, was rearrested shortly after being granted bail.
The Filton 24 ‘Defend and Mobilise’ support group said:
This state harassment comes just two days before the retrial of six of the Filton24 defendants.
Being detained under Schedule 7 means counter-terror police can interrogate for hours, without the right to say ‘no comment’.
The circumstances of the arrest have not been confirmed. However, it appears that Luxx was arrested while entering or leaving the UK. The ‘counterterrorism policing’ website says of Schedule 7:
Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 provides police officers with unique powers to examine people who pass through the United Kingdom’s borders. It allows them to stop, question and when necessary, search and detain individuals and goods travelling through the UK’s borders to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
The Starmer government has frequently used Schedule 7 against journalists and others to interrogate them without legal representation and because of its provisions making it a criminal offence to refuse to disclose passwords. Border police have used it for harassment and for ‘fishing expeditions’ to go through a journalist’s or activist’s contacts and communications. Some have refused to disclose passwords but no one has yet been prosecuted for it.

Good
Weird that 600,000 including 25,000
Palestinians, have been killed in Syria
Is the reason you’re not bothered is because no Jews were involved?
Weird that this is your response to this particular story.
Stop bringing jews into this you antisemite
yes these Zionists are disgusting. They constantly associated Jews with their genocidal desires and wants.
As I said, Israel is Hitler’s Bastard Offspring
being a zionist puppet like you must pay something right ?
That’s right Tony. Pee all over holocaust graves with a pathetic side swipe at the expense of jews who actually perished because of it in the past.
I think there’s a word for ppl who do that and I think you know what it is.
what strikes me is your lack of understanding of words… for example I note you used the words “I think”… sees a very illogical choice of words when coupled with your opinions… Just a thought!!!
I have to correct it..
Plenty of people have been prosecuted for refusing to answer questions and disclose passcodes when detained during a schedule 7 examination.
Most notably and recently, one Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon aka “Tommy Robinson” and me.
I have been detained and harassed for hours on end by this misused, corrupt piece of legislation many times at the uk border and was convicted for simply remaining silent and refusing to give Kent Police special branch officers at the port of Dover passcodes to my mobile phone and tablet.
I argued my right to private and family life, but I was still found guilty at Westminster Magistrates Court and given an absolute discharge as my “sentence”.
However, I still spent several days in police custody simply for not “playing ball” with them until court and now on paper, I have a “terrorism conviction” and branded a “terrorist” for life and unable to obtain visas or residence permits to many countries, -simply for saying absolutely nothing!
I am still detained and harassed by police / Customs / UKBF officers almost every time I cross the uk border due to this and most recently last year arrested again for exacty the same offence and detained for seven days before being released under investigation and then two months later being advised that the outcome was NFA!
Each time this has happened, I have lost out on several thousand pounds of earnings due to police harassment.
I have had several mobile phones, laptops and tablets seized over the years sonce this harassment began and lost twenty-plus years of family photographs and music lost forever when these items were never returned to me.
Anyone who thinks that this is right and that this wicked disgusting piece of legislation should not be repealed immediately is simply part of the problem.
