Young Woman Arrested in Britain After Saying “I Oppose Genocide. I Support Palestine Action”
September 11, 2026
“I OPPOSE GENOCIDE. I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION.”
A young woman holds a piece of cardboard. Gets arrested under the Terrorism Act. Not for violence. Not for a weapon. For a sentence written in marker pen.
More than half of all UK terrorism arrests in 25 years — since 9/11 — have happened in the months since Labour proscribed a protest group for spray-painting a plane. Retired priests. 83-year-olds. Pension-aged women with disabilities, arrested as “terrorists” for sitting in camp chairs holding placards.
This is what happens when a government runs out of arguments: it stops debating you and starts arresting you.
On September 27th, hundreds more will do exactly what this young woman did, outside the Prime Minister’s own conference. Because you can proscribe a placard. You can’t proscribe a conscience.
WE DO NOT COMPLY.

English Script:
Police officer: So I am arresting you on suspicion of displaying an article that raises suspicion of being a supporter of a proscribed organization namely Palestine Action under section 13 of terrorism Act 2000. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court. Anything you do say, may be given in evidence. You are now under arrest, stand up and you will go into custody. Are you going to stand up and be escorted to custody? If you don’t stand up, force will be used and you’ll be carried. If you don’t stand up, force will be used, there is a risk this may result in injury to yourself. Is there anything I can reasonably do or say, to make you stand?
