PALESTINE Action is set to be “proscribed” and “branded a terror group” by the home secretary in the coming weeks, according to the BBC.
Activists from the pro-Palestinian group broke into RAF Brize Norton overnight in a video shared online by members.
Now, Yvette Cooper is preparing a written statement before Parliament on Monday – which if passed will make becoming a member of the group illegal, reports the BBC.
It will then need to be enacted through new legislation.
