Abstract

In July, Parliament proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. Bart Cammaerts argues that this move is part of a broader authoritarian turn and an increasing unwillingness to tolerate protest and dissent within democracies like the UK. But rather than quell discontent, such decisions risk of further radicalising dissenting voices, and increasing distrust in democratic processes.
