Palestine Action member tells BBC plan to ban group 'absurd'

A member of Palestine Action criticized the UK government's plan to ban the group, calling it "absurd" and a threat to democracy. The group faces proscription after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton, spraying red paint on planes. The incident, labeled "disgraceful" by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has sparked controversy, with Amnesty International expressing concerns about using counterterrorism powers against protesters. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman supported the ban, emphasizing zero tolerance for terrorism.
