Europe’s Proscription of Palestine Solidarity: How “Counterterrorism” Is Weaponised | ELSC Webinar

Europe’s Proscription of Palestine Solidarity – Recorded Webinar Hosted by the European Legal Support Center (ELSC)

In November 2025, ELSC hosted a public webinar following the proscription of Palestine Action in Britain — a decision that forms part of a broader European trend to criminalise Palestine solidarity.

This webinar explores findings from ELSC’s new report on how “counterterrorism” frameworks are increasingly used to silence political organising, restrict civil liberties, and suppress voices opposing Israel’s ongoing Israeli genocide in Palestine.

Speakers
• Laleh Khalili – Professor of Middle Eastern Politics
• Franck Magennis – Public, civil and criminal defence barrister with expertise in legal claims linked to Palestinian emancipation
• Legal Coordinator, Urgence Palestine
