The arrest is part of a wider operation: more than 200 people have been detained on charges of expressing support for an organization declared illegal by the British government in July 2025 under anti-terrorism legislation, a move later challenged on constitutional grounds but still in force. According to police, those arrested range in age from 27 to 82. Before being taken away, Del Naja stated: "We have to use these moments to protest, otherwise the democratic country we live in no longer means anything."
