A fourth person has been charged with terrorism offences after a pro-Palestine Action rally outside the United States Consulate in Edinburgh, Police Scotland have confirmed.

The woman was charged in connection with the demonstration on Regent Terrace on Saturday 31 October. The charge relates to “supporting a proscribed organisation”, and a report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal for further consideration.

Two women and a man had previously been charged with the same offences, bringing the total number of people facing charges over the event to at least four.

Police enquiries continue

Police Scotland said enquiries into the demonstration remain ongoing, and officers are continuing to identify people who attended the rally.

A spokesperson for the force said: “A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. Extensive enquiries remain ongoing to identify people seen wearing T-shirts and holding banners showing support for a proscribed organisation. Evidence is being reviewed and further action will be taken as appropriate.”

The reports did not name the woman charged. Being charged is not a finding of guilt, and any case will be considered by the procurator fiscal.

Police Scotland attended the rally on the day and have been reviewing evidence from the event since. Officers are working to identify further people who were seen wearing T-shirts or holding banners showing support for the proscribed organisation, and have said further action will be taken as appropriate.

What happened at the rally

The demonstration took place outside the US consulate on Regent Terrace on 31 October. Demonstrators were pictured holding signs with the message, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.

The rally coincided with a similar protest outside the US embassy in London, and came ahead of an appeal at the Supreme Court against Palestine Action’s designation as a terror group on 4 November.

Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act after it was proscribed in June 2025.

Wider pattern of charges

The Edinburgh charges form part of a wider pattern of legal action against Palestine Action supporters across the United Kingdom.

Four people from Londonderry were convicted in September 2026 of participating in an illegal pro-Palestine procession, receiving fines ranging from £75 to £150 at Londonderry Magistrates’ Court.

Five more men were charged over disorder at Glasgow Green in July 2026, bringing the total number of people charged over that incident to 30, with offences including assault and possession of offensive weapons.

The latest Edinburgh charge was reported on Monday 10 November, ten days after the rally outside the consulate. Police Scotland said their investigation into the demonstration continues.
