BREAKING: Scottish police found Palestine Action’s activities below level for ‘terrorism’ ban

Details of meetings obtained by The National via a Freedom of Information request have confirmed that Police Scotland (PS) found that anti-genocide protest group Palestine Action’s activities fell far below the level to be considered terrorism. Palestine Action (PA) has been banned (proscribed) as a terrorist group by the Westminster government of Keir Starmer despite the government’s own anti-terror committee reaching the same conclusion.

Palestine Action: not terrorists

Minutes from a key police ‘CONTEST’ meeting notes that:

Currently within Scotland, this group has been focused on protest activity which has not been close to meeting the statutory definition of terrorism; CT [counter-terrorism] policing continues to monitor their activity and are prepared to intervene where necessary.

Former UK ambassador Craig Murray, who has been a victim of the Starmer regime’s abuse of legislation to hound anti-genocide protest and journalism, said of the Palestine Action ban:

The May meeting of the Scottish Counter Terrorism Board (CONTEST) included the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and the security services.

It concluded that Palestine Action were not even close to being a terrorist organisation. This proves what we all know – this proscription was a political move by Yvette Cooper in the interests of the arms industry and the Zionist lobby. We will be pursuing this in court.

Then-Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and other government mouthpieces claimed that PA had been banned because the group had been violent and security services believed it was planning even greater violence. Leaked notes from the government’s ‘Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre’ (JTAC) showed that Cooper had lied – JTAC had reached no such conclusions.

Around two thousand peaceful protesters have been arrested for demonstrating against the decision to ban a non-violent group and classify it as terrorists alongside groups like ISIS and al Qaeda – while the government invited an actual ISIS/al Qaeda terrorist to visit the UK and the UK military helped his terror group fight government troops in Syria.
