Sarah Wilkinson, a prominent human rights activist and journalist known for her pro-Palestinian stance, has been arrested by UK counter-terrorism police. The arrest took place at her home just before 7.30am, with reports indicating that 12 officers, some in plain clothes, were involved. Wilkinson is accused of posting online content supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and the West Bank, which has led to allegations of her supporting terrorism. Her electronic devices have been seized, and she faces potential charges under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 14 years if convicted.
