UK police have arrested Rob Del Naja, frontman of Massive Attack, outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool on charges under the Terrorism Act. Del Naja was photographed holding a sign that read, "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action." The British government had proscribed the group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization on July 5, 2025, under the UK's Terrorism Act 2000.
In footage circulating online, Del Naja stated he "doesn't recognize the offense." Critics have pointed out that Del Naja had previously supported similar actions, such as when Labour politician Andy Burnham praised him for his "clarity and leadership" in June, raising concerns about potential political motivations behind the arrest.
