A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen, was arrested in the UK for supporting the banned group Palestine Action at a pro-Palestine rally. In India, police raided the home of an activist who organized a kite-flying event in solidarity with Gaza, prompting protests in Mumbai. In Ireland, at least 103 Palestinian students took legal action after visa approval rates for Gazans plummeted from nearly 84% in 2025 to just 27.5% this year, with lawyers challenging the justice minister's refusals in court. Together these incidents reflect growing friction between pro-Palestinian activism and government responses across multiple countries.
