The protester was taken to a police station and held for around three hours. Speaking to our sister paper,the Glasgow Times after he was released, he said he had to sign a "draconian" undertaking.

"I was charged under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act and given a date to appear in court. 'I am effectively banned from the city centre for the duration until the court date. 'If I go into the city centre, I will be jailed.' He said he will comply with the undertaking. He added: 'I will abide by it but I think it is draconian and we are on the way to a politicised police state.' Clerkin was arrested in Nelson Mandela Place on Friday around noon after he displayed the sign. (Image: GT) The group Palestine Action was recently named a proscribed organisation in the UK. Two men displayed the sign and were warned by police officers they were 'demonstrating support for a proscribed organisation'. They were warned that the way the sign was written was deliberately intended to 'circumvent the law'. When it was displayed again minutes later, as a third protester made a speech, two police officers moved in and made an arrest. Clerkin was taken to a nearby police van amid shouts of 'let him go' from supporters. The man stated repeatedly as he was taken to the police van: 'I am not a terrorist'. The city centre protest on Friday was calling for 'an end to the proscription of [[Palestine]] Action and 'the end to genocide in Gaza And [[Palestine]]. Other protesters criticised the arrest. Mick Napier of Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said: 'This is the theatre of the absurd. You can't say Palestine and genocide in the same sentence." The incident follows Police Scotland charged a man under suspicion of terror offences for wearing a T-shirt allegedly showing support for the proscribed group [[Palestine]] Action. It is understood that the 55-year-old activist was leafleting near the TRNSMT festival, in Glasgow, when police charged him. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 64-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act for displaying a sign expressing support for a proscribed organisation. "Officers were called to a protest at Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow at around 9.50am on Friday, 18 July, 2025. "The man is expected to appear in court at a later date."

Glasgow Man charged under Terrorism Act for city centre Palestine sign
Police Scotland said he had been arrested and charged "for displaying a sign expressing support for a proscribed organisation" The arrest follows that of a 38-year-old man in Shawlands on Wednesday, who allegedly had a poster showing support for the group in his window. The man arrested in the city centre is expected to appear at court at a later date, as is the man in Shawlands. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 64-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act for displaying a sign expressing support for a proscribed organisation." Officers were called to a protest at Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow at around 9.50am on Friday, 18 July, 2025. "The man is expected to appear in court at a later date." The group was outlawed after claiming responsibility after two Voyager aircraft were sprayed with paint inside RAF Brize Norton in June. The government said the group had a long history of criminal damage, with its activities increasing in frequency and severity. A man was previously arrested at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow for wearing a T-shirt which allegedly showed support for the group. It is claimed the words "Palestine" and "action" were in larger typeface than the rest of the text. Police Scotland said the 55-year-old had been charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act, for wearing a T-shirt expressing support for a proscribed organisation. T-shirts with the message have been produced by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign. In a post on Facebook, the campaign said one of its Glasgow members had been "charged at the roadside" at TRNSMT and the T-shirt had been confiscated. At the time of the ban, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government would "not tolerate" those who put the UK's national security "at risk."
