Glasgow Man charged under Terrorism Act for city centre Palestine sign
The arrest follows that of a 38-year-old man in Shawlands on Wednesday, who allegedly had a poster showing support for the group in his window.
The man arrested in the city centre is expected to appear at court at a later date, as is the man in Shawlands.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 64-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act for displaying a sign expressing support for a proscribed organisation."
Officers were called to a protest at Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow at around 9.50am on Friday, 18 July, 2025.
"The man is expected to appear in court at a later date."
The group was outlawed after claiming responsibility after two Voyager aircraft were sprayed with paint inside RAF Brize Norton in June.
The government said the group had a long history of criminal damage, with its activities increasing in frequency and severity.
A man was previously arrested at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow for wearing a T-shirt which allegedly showed support for the group. It is claimed the words "Palestine" and "action" were in larger typeface than the rest of the text.
Police Scotland said the 55-year-old had been charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act, for wearing a T-shirt expressing support for a proscribed organisation.
T-shirts with the message have been produced by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
In a post on Facebook, the campaign said one of its Glasgow members had been "charged at the roadside" at TRNSMT and the T-shirt had been confiscated.
At the time of the ban, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government would "not tolerate" those who put the UK's national security "at risk."

More than 25,000 sign petition demanding answers on 1994 Chinook disaster
More than 25,000 people have signed a petition demanding answers around the 1994 Chinook disaster. 25 senior intelligence experts and four special forces crew, died when an RAF Chinook ZD576 crashed on the Mull of Kintyre en route from RAF Aldergrove in Northern Ireland to Fort George near Inverness on 2 June 1994. The incident was initially blamed on pilot error before being overturned in 2011. A BBC documentary last year, Chinook: Zulu Delta 576, revealed the files related to the tragedy had been sealed by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for 100 years. Families of the 29 people who died have set up the Chinook Justice Campaign to demand "truth and transparency" from the MoD. In a petition, the family of the victims have urged for the full release of all documents. They also call on the Prime Minister to undertake a judge-led public inquiry. The families have demanded the Government introduce a legal "duty of candour" on all public bodies "so that no family ever has to battle for the truth again." The petition reads: "Twenty-nine people boarded Chinook ZD576 on 2 June 1994. All of them died. "31 years later, we – their families – still have no answers. "We have been denied truth, transparency and justice by the Ministry of Defence. "Our loved ones were forced to board an RAF helicopter with fatal software flaws that MoD test engineers had deemed 'positively dangerous' and 'not to be relied upon in any way whatsoever'. "We know key evidence was withheld or ignored in previous investigations. Former ministers say they were misled by the MoD and doubt airworthiness issues were investigated properly." The family of the victims have welcomed the BBC's decision to re-air Chinook: Zulu Delta 576 this month as they push for answers, with the first part airing on Sunday, 17 August on BBC2 at 9pm and the second part a week later. Dr Susan Phoenix's husband, Ian, a detective superintendent in the RUC, was among those killed. Dr Phoenix, 76, who lives in Portland, Dorset, said: "It was solely down to this excellent two-part BBC documentary by Fine Point Films that brought all of the Chinook Justice families together to fight for truth, transparency and justice. 'Why would files on this horrific crash be sealed for 100 years without there being something to hide, not just from the widows of those on board, but from their children, and grandchildren? 'There is something rotten at the heart of the MoD that continues, having put 29 people on an aircraft that was not airworthy, to insult and patronise us all, just as it dishonours our loved ones. 'We are determined to find out the truth and we believe the British public want that too.' Esme Sparks was seven and her younger siblings were aged just two when their father Major Gary Sparks was killed in the crash. A secondary school teacher, from Darlington, Co Durham, Ms Sparks said: "The Prime Minister must urgently introduce a legal duty of candour on all public bodies, including the MoD which placed our relatives on an aircraft it knew to be unairworthy, to prevent this type of unacceptable secrecy and wrongdoing happening over and over again." An MOD spokesperson said: "The Mull of Kintyre crash was a tragic accident, and our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends and colleagues of all those who died. "The accident has already been the subject of six inquiries and investigations, including an independent Judge-led review. "The closed records held at The National Archives contain personal information relating to third party individuals. The early release of this information would breach those individuals' data protection rights."
