British police raided the home of an 84-year-old retired priest on Friday in connection with her climate change and pro-Palestine activism, the campaign group Defend Our Juries said, according to Middle East Eye. The woman's name and the specific legal grounds for the operation were not disclosed in initial reports of the raid.
The incident reflects intensifying police attention to civil disobedience campaigns across Britain. Activists participating in direct action protests have faced heightened scrutiny in recent months. Officers did not immediately clarify what they were searching for or what material, if any, they removed from the property during the operation.
