警方在抗议者无视警告、参加在伦敦举行的反对将“巴勒斯坦行动”列为非法组织的集会后，逮捕了至少48人。根据英国法律，“巴勒斯坦行动”被定性为“恐怖”组织。
Police have arrested at least 48 people after protesters defied a warning not to attend a rally in London against the proscription of Palestine Action, which is classified as a “terrorist” organisation under United Kingdom law.
周六，数百人聚集在美国驻英国大使馆外，反对该禁令。该禁令于去年7月在时任首相基尔·斯塔默领导的政府下生效。
Hundreds of people gathered outside the United States embassy on Saturday to oppose the ban, which came into effect in July last year under the government of then-Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
此次示威发生在周三最高法院就该运动组织被列为非法组织一事进行上诉审理之前。
The demonstration comes ahead of a Supreme Court appeal on Wednesday challenging the campaign group’s proscription.
伦敦大都会警察局在X平台发布的声明中表示：“截至今天下午，警官已逮捕48人。大多数逮捕系因表达对非法组织的支持。警方仍在现场，并继续实施逮捕。” 针对警方声明，工党议员约翰·麦克唐奈在X平台发帖称，抗议政府将某组织列为非法的决定，不能“自动被解释”为抗议者支持该组织，“从而构成可被逮捕的罪行”。
“So far this afternoon, officers have arrested 48 people,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement posted on X. “The majority of arrests have been for expressing support for a proscribed organisation. Officers remain at the scene and are continuing to make arrests.”Responding to the police statement, Labour Party MP John McDonnell posted on X, saying someone protesting against the government’s decision to proscribe an organisation cannot be “automatically interpreted” as them supporting that organisation and “therefore committing an arrestable offence”.
他补充说，他认为政府“将‘巴勒斯坦行动’定性为恐怖组织的决定是错误的”。
He added that he believes the government “made the wrong decision in proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation”.
周六的集会是自首相安迪·伯纳姆7月就职以来，针对该禁令举行的首次大规模抗议。
Saturday’s rally is the first mass protest against the proscription since Prime Minister Andy Burnham assumed office in July.
将该组织定性为“恐怖”组织的决定在英国社会部分群体中引发强烈不满，批评者认为，这是旨在压制亲巴勒斯坦声音的更大规模打压行动的一部分。被列为非法组织意味着“巴勒斯坦行动”被加入了禁令名单，该名单还包括“基地”组织和“伊斯兰国”（ISIS）。
The decision to designate the group a “terrorist” organisation has triggered uproar among sections of British society, with critics arguing that it is part of a wider crackdown aimed at silencing pro-Palestine voices. The proscription means Palestine Action has been added to a list of banned organisations that also includes al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS).
抗议者也在苏格兰首府爱丁堡的美国领事馆外聚集。据报道，那里未发生逮捕事件。
Protesters also gathered outside the US consulate in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital. There have been no reports of arrests there.
在伦敦和爱丁堡，示威者手举标语牌，上书“我反对种族灭绝。我支持巴勒斯坦行动”。
Demonstrators in both London and Edinburgh could be seen holding placards reading “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.
组织抗议活动的“保卫我们的陪审团”表示，周六的逮捕使得自2025年7月以来，因违抗针对“巴勒斯坦行动”的禁令而被拘留的人数已超过4000人。
Defend Our Juries, which organised the protests, said Saturday’s arrests took the total number of people detained for defying the Palestine Action ban to more than 4,000 since July 2025.
该组织一名发言人表示：“根据反恐法，因和平守夜、无声表达反对种族灭绝和支持抗议团体‘巴勒斯坦行动’而被捕的人数现已超过4000人，这真是反乌托邦般的景象。”英国通讯社“新闻协会”报道了这一表态。
“It is truly dystopian that there have now been over 4,000 arrests under terror laws for peaceful vigils silently expressing opposition to genocide and support for the protest group Palestine Action,” a spokesperson for the group said, as reported by UK news agency Press Association.
该发言人补充道：“‘巴勒斯坦行动’被禁直接照搬了[美国总统唐纳德·]特朗普的剧本，因此这一重要里程碑在万圣节、在美国大使馆外达成，实在是再合适不过了。”发言人称，该禁令关乎英国政府“讨好特朗普和‘巴勒斯坦行动’所干扰的以色列武器公司，而非任何恐怖威胁”。
“The ban on Palestine Action was straight out of [US President Donald] Trump’s playbook, so it’s fitting that this significant milestone has been reached on Halloween and outside the US embassy,” the spokesperson added, saying the proscription was about the UK government “appeasing Trump and the Israeli weapons companies that Palestine Action disrupted, not about any kind of terrorist threat”.
大赦国际英国分部传播与运动负责人费利克斯·杰肯斯也呼吁政府撤销对“巴勒斯坦行动”的禁令。
Felix Jakens, Amnesty International UK’s head of communications and campaigns, also called on the government to reverse Palestine Action’s proscription.
杰肯斯针对周六的逮捕行动表示：“祖父母、青少年以及各个年龄段的人们再次因和平手持标语牌而被强行塞进警车，这一幕是对言论自由的可耻打击。”
“The sight yet again of grandparents, teenagers and everyone in between being hauled into police vans for peacefully holding placards is a disgraceful attack on freedom of speech,” Jakens said in response to the arrests on Saturday.
“政府早该取缔‘巴勒斯坦行动’的禁令，并改革法律，让社区拥有更多权力就其关心的问题进行示威，而不是更少。”杰肯斯说。
“It’s past time for the government to drop the proscription of Palestine Action and reform our laws so that communities have more power to demonstrate on the issues they care about, not less.”
