Bangla Press Desk: Palestine Action activists were remanded in custody on Thursday when they appeared at a London court over a break-in at an air force base that provoked a government move to ban the protest group.
Two aircraft at the base in southern England were sprayed with red paint last week, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.55 million) in damage and prompting the government to seek lawmakers' approval for a ban.
The group has condemned the move as an "unhinged reaction" and is challenging its planned proscription, which the government said could come by the end of the week.
Counter-terror police on Wednesday charged the four suspects with "conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom, and conspiracy to commit criminal damage."
