Palestine Action is a direct action group that was proscribed a terrorist organization after they spray-painted some RAF planes in defiance of UK military aid to Israel.

Most arrested individuals were retirees, with some blind and otherwise disabled people also arrested.

Over 500 people were arrested, the most for a peaceful protest since 1961.
