„In addition to charges of trespass and damage to property, the group is accused of "membership of a criminal organisation" - namely Palestine Action Germany - under Section 129 of the German penal code.
This legal statute is commonly applied in cases of "terrorism" and organised crime, and can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years.“

Britain’s High Court has ruled that the government’s decision to outlawed the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful. The panel of three judges said Friday the ban will remain in place pending another hearing while the government prepares an appeal. Last year the U.K. government declared the pro-Palestinian group a terrorist organization alongside the likes of al-Qaida and Hamas, making membership in or support for Palestine Action a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Since then, more than 2,000 people have been arrested for holding signs saying “I support Palestine Action.”

A trio of British hunger strikers is taking food again last week, after claiming victory in a standoff with the U.K. government over the group Palestine Action. The activist group, best known for vandalizing British companies associated with Israel, has been proscribed as a terrorist organization by the government.
