Dozens of prominent actors and writers have denounced a UK anti-terror law targeting Palestine Action, calling it a "repressive absurdity," Al Jazeera English reported. The figures, representing leading names in British culture, object to the designation of the activist group under counter-terrorism legislation.
The condemnation follows the law's application to Palestine Action, an organization that has staged protests and direct actions related to Palestinian causes. The cultural figures argue the measure represents an overreach of anti-terror powers against political activism.
