The BBC’s London headquarters were splashed with red paint Monday by the Palestine Action Group.

The group said that they also broke windows to protest the “BBC’s ongoing complicity in the genocide of Palestinians through its entrenched pro-Israel bias.”


“The BBC’s biased reporting isn’t a simple case of poor journalism – it’s a matter of life and death. By downplaying Israeli war crimes, the BBC is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza,” said Palestine Action.

It pointed to the media’s role in fostering global complicity, adding the BBC had blood on its hands.

It noted that the latest action was a key part of a larger effort to hold them responsible.

“We will not stand by as the BBC sanitizes genocide,” the group added.

The BBC’s headquarters had been sprayed with red paint by the group back in 2023 in protest against its ongoing reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, attracting criticism for not being sufficiently balanced.
