Shams Sadiq, a café owner and pro-Palestine activist from Manchester, says British police tried to recruit him as an informant against the "banned" activist group Palestine Action.

According to Sadiq, officers told him they could offer financial benefits and overlook some minor offences if he provided information about the group. He says the approach came when he went to collect electronic devices that had been seized following his arrest in 2025.

Sadiq also said he was stopped and questioned at Manchester Airport under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act days before the meeting, where he was asked about Palestine Action, Iran, and people with extremist views.
