British lawmakers voted on Wednesday to ban pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, after its activists broke into a military base and damaged two planes in protest at what it says is Britain's support for Israel.

British lawmakers have voted to officially ban the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, labeling it a terrorist organisation. The decision follows a series of disruptive protests, including one last month where activists damaged two aircraft at a Royal Air Force base in southern England.

MPs have voted in favour of legislation to proscribe group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, passing by 385 votes to 26. The order, which amends the Terrorism Act 2000, is now expected to be signed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and come into effect later this week.
