Rock legend could face decade in prison after social media message
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has put himself in a position to face prosecution after he pledged support in a social media post for Palestine Action.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer shared a video on X earlier this month.
“OK, it’s July 5, 2025, I’m in my little studio, I’ve just been at work on a piece of brown cardboard with a Sharpie,” Waters said. “Here we go. This says, Roger Waters supports Palestine Action.”
Palestine Action is a group that has been declared as a terrorist organization by the United Kingdom.
“Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power,” he said. “Stand up and be counted it’s now!’
“It’s now. This is the moment. I am Spartacus.”
According to Penn Live, The United Kingdom banned Palestine Action under its anti-terrorism laws last week after its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged planes in protest of Britain’s support of Israel.
