Prosecutors Say Seven Charged with Damaging Trump Scottish Golf Course Had ‘Terrorism Connection’
Prosecutors may seek harsher sentences because the alleged vandalism was said to have a terrorist connection, though none of the seven face terror charges.
- Seven protesters accused of damaging President Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland last year could face longer sentences if prosecutors establish a "terrorist connection" to the incident.
- Activists from Palestine Action spray-painted "Free Gaza" and "Free Palestine" slogans and dug up turf at the 800-acre resort on March 8, 2025, in response to the administration's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
- The indictment revealed prosecutors will seek to establish a "terror connection" to enable terror sentences, despite the seven defendants not being charged with any terror offences.
- On Wednesday, the White House designated Palestine Action a terrorist group, following the British Government's proscription last year for promoting "unlawful violence amounting to terrorism."
- The seven accused will make their first court appearance on Monday, while Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori continues her Supreme Court challenge against the British Government's proscription.
