Two women and a man have been charged with showing support for proscribed terror group Palestine Action following a protest in central London. Jeremy Shippam, 71, of West Sussex, Judit Murray, 71, of Surrey, and Fiona Maclean, 53, of Hackney are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 16 September, the Metropolitan Police said.

The U.K. government has proscribed the network as a terrorist group, a decision fiercely contested by the group itself.

British police on Thursday said they had charged the first three people in England and Wales with supporting activist group Palestine Action since it was banned under anti-terrorism laws.
