Man charged with Terrorism over 'Palestine Action poster at Scots property'
The 38-year-old is due to appear in court. A man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act for displaying a poster in his property that expressed support for a proscribed terrorist organisation, police said. The man, 38, was arrested on Wednesday after police were notified he had the poster displayed in the window of his property in Shawlands, Glasgow. He will appear in court at a later date. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "On Wednesday, 16 July, 2025, a 38-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a poster expressing support for a proscribed organisation at a property in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. He is due to appear in court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal." It's understood the poster showed support for Palestine Action. The British pro-Palestinian protest network was founded in 2020 with the stated goal of ending Israeli apartheid. The organisation also became active in the Gaza war protests in the United Kingdom and has been involved in attempts to disrupt the arms industry in the UK with direct action. It accuses the arms industry of being complicit in genocide in Gaza genocide and British factories of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems have been targeted. The group also previously claimed responsibility for vandalism at Donald Trump's Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire. Palestine Action's campaigns have seen them use vandalism, destruction of property, occupation of premises, and protest as ways of raising awareness of their goal and this has resulted in its members being arrested.

The. group describes its actions as "non-violent yet disruptive", saying it has never hurt a human being. The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a "terrorist group" from July 5, 2025 under UK's Terrorism Act 2000. That makes it illegal to fundraise for it or wear or display anything arousing reasonable suspicion of support, or to express an opinion or belief supportive of Palestine Action which might encourage others to support it. Since then, British police have arrested dozens of individuals for holding signs showing support to Palestine Action. Civil liberties group have criticised the ban as "conflating protest with terrorism." In June 2025, members of Palestine Action gained access to RAF Brize Norton on electric scooters and used "repurposed fire extinguishers" to spray red paint into the engines of two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes. The RAF Brize Norton base is used to send flights to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, from where the RAF has conducted reconnaissance flights in over the Gaza Strip during the Gaza War. Palestine Action said at the time: "Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel US and Israeli fighter jets". Palestine Action claimed its actions were genocide prevention. It also said it was prevention of British war crimes. The UK Ministry of Defence, and a defence expert, said the particular aircraft spray-painted hadn't refuelled or supported Israeli air force jets. Palestine Action also spray-painted red across the runway, symbolising the blood of the Palestinians killed in Gaza, and left a Palestinian flag at the base.
