proscription

It is calling for the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group by the UK government to be scrapped.

Some MPs have piled pressure on the government to change tack on its proscription of Palestine Action after another weekend of mass arrests.

Former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has previously defended the proscription by saying some supporters of Palestine Action "don't know the full nature" of the group.

The statement added that police were aware there had been a recent focus on the proscription of Palestine Action and stressed that decision had been taken by the UK government.

Cooper has previously defended the organisation's proscription, saying last month that some of its supporters "don't know the full nature" of the group, adding that it was "not a non-violent organisation".
