UK Lawmakers Vote to Ban Palestine Action as Terrorist Group
Controversial designation sparks criticism from rights groups
UK lawmakers have voted to formally designate the activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization under existing anti-terror laws, granting authorities expanded powers to prosecute members and supporters.
The move has been sharply criticized by civil liberties groups, who argue it threatens the right to protest and undermines legitimate political dissent.
