英国官方数据显示,自2001年9·11事件以来,该国恐怖主义相关逮捕总数达6539起,其中近一半——3021起——发生在截至2026年3月31日的一年内1。这一时期的逮捕数量增长幅度惊人,增长1434%1。女性和女孩被捕人数增加3761%,30岁及以上人士被捕增加2306%1。
这波逮捕激增与巴勒斯坦行动组织在去年7月5日被列为禁止组织密切相关1。根据卫报司法改革组织的统计,与该禁令相关的逮捕已超过3600起,占自9·11以来逮捕总数的一半以上1。被控者涉及多层次罪名:约2500人根据《恐怖主义法》第13条被控,最高刑期为6个月监禁;至少50人根据第12条被控,最高刑期可达14年1。2024年针对以色列武器制造商Elbit工厂的一次袭击中,四名巴勒斯坦行动活动人士成为首批被判财产损毁且被认定具有"恐怖主义联系"的被告1。
该禁令因其过于宽泛的反恐定义而遭到质疑,联合国专家、非政府组织及英国前司法官员均提出批评1。相关法律挑战将于11月4日在英国最高法院进行1。
British government figures reveal a dramatic surge in terrorism-related arrests, with nearly half of all such arrests made since the 9/11 attacks now occurring within a single twelve-month period.1 According to official data, 3,021 terrorism arrests were recorded in the year ending March 31, 2026, out of a total of 6,539 arrests since 2001.1 This represents a 1,434 percent increase in terrorism-related arrests compared to the previous year, with arrests of women and girls rising by 3,761 percent and those aged thirty and older increasing by 2,306 percent.1
The sharp spike in arrests follows the government's designation of Palestine Action as a banned organization on July 5, 2025, which has triggered thousands of prosecutions.1 The Guardian's Justice and Rights Project reports that Palestine Action-related arrests now exceed 3,600, accounting for more than half of all terrorism arrests since 9/11.1 Approximately 2,500 individuals have been charged under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act, carrying a maximum six-month prison sentence, while at least 50 face charges under Section 12, which carries sentences of up to fourteen years.1
The ban has drawn criticism from United Nations experts, civil society organizations, and former British judicial officials, who argue the terrorism law definition is overly broad.1 A legal challenge to the ban is scheduled for November 4 at the UK Supreme Court.1 In a notable case, four Palestine Action activists became the first defendants convicted of property damage with designated "terrorist connections" following a 2024 action against an Israeli arms manufacturer's facility.1
