伦敦——警方周三在英国最高法院外逮捕了二十多名活动团体“巴勒斯坦行动”的支持者，当时法官正在审理该团体对其被列为恐怖组织的挑战。该团体一直在挑战政府依据反恐法实施的禁令，该禁令在过去一年中已导致超过3000名支持者被捕。政府在活动人士于2025年6月闯入一处英国皇家空军基地，抗议英国对以色列在加沙地带进攻的军事支持后，取缔了“巴勒斯坦行动”。该进攻已造成数万名巴勒斯坦人死亡。闯入事件紧随该组织的其他破坏行为。
LONDON — Police arrested more than two dozen supporters of activist group Palestine Action outside the U.K. Supreme Court on Wednesday as justices heard the group’s challenge to its designation as a terrorist organization. The group has been fighting the government’s ban under anti-terrorism laws, which has led to the arrests of more than 3,000 of its supporters over the past year. The government outlawed Palestine Action after activists broke into a Royal Air Force base in June 2025 to protest British military support for Israel’s offensive in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. The break-in followed other acts of vandalism by the group.
该指定将巴勒斯坦行动列入与基地组织和哈马斯相同的法律类别，使加入或支持该组织的行为最高可判处14年监禁。
The designation places Palestine Action in the same legal category as al-Qaida and Hamas and makes membership in or support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
巴勒斯坦行动的支持者和民权组织称，逮捕和平示威者侵犯了他们的言论自由和抗议权利。
下级法院裁定政府禁止该组织的行为违法，但五名上诉法院法官在六月推翻了该决定。
该组织的律师周三在法庭上表示，过去五年中其385次行动中只有三次符合恐怖主义的法律定义，且仅因涉及财产损毁。
Palestine Action supporters and civil liberties groups say the arrests of peaceful protesters have violated their rights to free speech and protest.A lower court ruled that the government acted unlawfully in banning the group, but five Court of Appeal judges reversed that decision in June.A lawyer for the group told the court Wednesday that only three of its 385 actions over five years met the legal definition of terrorism, and only because they involved property damage.
在近百个被禁组织中，巴勒斯坦行动是首个仅因造成严重财产损毁而被禁的组织，“并未表明其倡导严重暴力，”律师拉扎·胡赛因说。
Of nearly 100 proscribed organizations, Palestine Action is the first to be banned solely for causing serious property damage, “with no suggestion that it advocated serious violence,” lawyer Raza Husain said.
政府律师詹姆斯·埃迪表示，上诉法院已驳回将巴勒斯坦行动定性为“非暴力直接行动抗议组织”的说法。他说，严重的财产损毁在没有针对人的暴力的情况下也可能构成恐怖主义。
Government lawyer James Eadie said the Court of Appeal had rejected the characterization of Palestine Action as a “non-violent direct action protest group.”Serious property damage could constitute terrorism without violence against people, he said.
埃迪称，只要不支持巴勒斯坦行动，抗议者可以合法支持巴勒斯坦并反对以色列。
Eadie said protesters could legally support Palestine and oppose Israel as long as they did not back Palestine Action.
在法庭外，抗议者试图强调他们与英国萨拉·赫尔姆（Sarah Helm）的不同警务标准，萨拉·赫尔姆是英国……英国国家安全顾问乔纳森·鲍威尔。上个月，英国书商因爱尔兰小说家萨莉·鲁尼在资金上支持“巴勒斯坦行动”而被禁止销售其作品，随后其他作家在社交媒体上为她辩护。其中包括赫尔姆，她在X平台上写道：“上帝保佑我们这些支持巴勒斯坦和‘巴勒斯坦行动’的作家。”
Outside the court, protesters sought to highlight what they described as a different policing standard for them and Sarah Helm, the wife of U.K. national security adviser Jonathan Powell. After British booksellers were banned last month from selling works by Irish novelist Sally Rooney because of her financial support for Palestine Action, other authors defended her on social media. Among them was Helm, who wrote on X: “God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action.”
伦敦大都会警察局审查了她的帖子，认定其不构成犯罪。周三，抗议者举着措辞相似的标语牌，将“作家”替换为“普通人”、“学生”和“大屠杀幸存者的儿子”等描述。最后被捕的是一名手举标语牌的女子，上面写着：“上帝保佑我们这些不是英国国家安全顾问妻子却支持巴勒斯坦和‘巴勒斯坦行动’的人。”“萨拉·赫尔姆举的牌子跟我一样，”她抗议时高喊。
London’s Metropolitan Police reviewed her post and decided it was not a crime. On Wednesday, protesters held signs with similar wording, replacing “authors” with descriptions such as “normal people,” “students” and “sons of Holocaust survivors.”The last person arrested was a woman who had held a sign reading: “God help us who are not married to the UK’s national security adviser who support Palestine and Palestine action.”“Sarah Helm had the same sign as me,” she shouted in protest.
2020年，“巴勒斯坦行动”成立，当时活动人士在以色列武器制造商“以尔比特系统英国公司”位于伦敦的总部泼洒红色油漆。在哈马斯于2023年10月7日发动袭击、造成约1200人死亡并劫持250余人后，以色列对加沙发动军事进攻，“巴勒斯坦行动”随之声名鹊起。
Palestine Action was founded in 2020, when activists smeared red paint on the London headquarters of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems UK. It gained prominence after Israel launched its military offensive in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack, which killed about 1,200 people and saw 250 others taken hostage.
