The activist is being charged over two speeches that he made, Palestine Action said on social media
Richard Barnard, the cofounder of pro-Palestinian activist group, Palestine Action, was charged under the Terrorism Act by UK police on 29 August.
Barnard is being accused of “expressing an opinion that is supportive of a proscribed organization contrary to section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.” He also faces two charges of encouragement or intention to encourage criminal damage.
A hearing will be held at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 18 September.
The charges against Barnard originate from a probe launched by the UK Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW) unit into a protest held on 8 October, one day after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, in Manchester.
“After a targeted campaign by the Zionist lobby, Palestine Action’s co-founder Richard Barnard is facing three charges for two speeches. He is accused of supporting a proscribed organization under the Terrorism Act and encouraging ‘criminal activity.’ Mobilize in support at his plea hearing on September 18th from 10:00 AM at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, London, NW1 5BR,” Palestine Action said via social media.
