Unprecedented' terror charges since Labour's Palestine Action ban
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference."
"The number of people charged with supporting Palestine Action has reached unprecedented levels in just two months, quadrupling levels seen in the two decades since 9/11. At least 138 people have been charged under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act which bans displaying or publishing a sign, flag or clothing in support of a terrorist organisation since Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist group in July, according to provisional figures from the Crown Prosecution Service."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating matters like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued reporting from journalists on the ground and sustain open access without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. At least 138 people have been charged under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine Action since the group was proscribed in July, quadrupling levels seen since 9/11. By comparison, just 34 people had been charged under the same offence since 2000. Lords members described the scale as unprecedented and questioned whether heavy policing and detentions, including of elderly demonstrators, were counterproductive, with the number of charges likely to grow.
