Direct action groups vow to defy government plans to proscribe them as ‘extremist’
Just Stop Oil activists demonstrate in Parliament Square, Westminster, central London, to demand the government immediately halt all new oil, gas and coal projects in the UK, October 30, 2023

DIRECT-ACTION groups Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action have vowed to defy government plans to proscribe them as “extremist” as part of its continuing crackdown on the right to protest.

The proposals would rank the groups alongside terrorist organisations, though under different proposed legislation, and include a ban on meetings and ability to raise funds.

Both named organisations immediately said that they would defy any such laws.
