“When the law is used as a tool to crush civil liberties, it does not extinguish dissent, it strengthens it,” the group’s statement said.

The courts have weighed in on the Palestine Action case, with judges initially rejecting the organisation’s request to appeal the ban. A High Court judge then allowed the appeal to go forward, though the government is now challenging that decision.

Banksy began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, and has become one of the world’s best-known artists. His paintings and installations sell for millions of dollars at auction and have drawn thieves and vandals.

Banksy’s work often comments on political issues, with many of his pieces criticising government policy on migration and war.

At the Glastonbury Festival last year, an inflatable raft holding dummies of migrants in life jackets was unveiled during a band’s headline set. Banksy appeared to claim the stunt, which was thought to symbolise small boat crossings of migrants in the English Channel, in a post on Instagram.

The artist has also taken his message on migration to Europe.

In 2019, The Migrant Child, which depicted a shipwrecked child holding a pink smoke bomb and wearing a life jacket, was unveiled in Venice. In 2018, a number of works including one near a former centre for migrants that depicted a child spray-painting wallpaper over a swastika were discovered in Paris.

Banksy has also created numerous artworks in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the years, including one depicting a girl conducting a body search on an Israeli soldier, another showing a dove wearing a flak jacket, and a masked protester hurling a bouquet of flowers. He designed the Walled Off Hotel guesthouse in Bethlehem, which closed in October 2023.

Last year, Banksy captured London’s attention with an animal-themed collection, which concluded with a mural of a gorilla appearing to hold up the entrance gate to London Zoo.

For nine days straight, Banksy-created creatures – including a mountain goat perched on a building buttress, piranhas circling a police guard post, and a rhinoceros mounting a car – showed up in unlikely locations around the city.
