Former Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters has declared independence from UK government amid his support for Palestine Action.
The group has been deemed a terrorist organisation and banned by Parliament.
Waters posted a video to X on Saturday, in which the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame inductee praised Palestine Action as a "great organisation".
In the video the bassist and singer-songwriter can be seen making a sign from a piece of cardboard.
"This says, Roger Waters supports Palestine Action. Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted. It's now," the legendary musician read. "This is the moment. I am Spartacus."
"This is Independence Day, July 5th, 2025," he continued. "I declare my independence from the Government of the UK, who've just designated Palestine Action a terrorist, proscribed terrorist organisation."
Waters said he supports Palestine Action, noting that they are "nonviolent" and "absolutely not terrorists in any way".
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism told Fox News Digital, "Roger Waters has a long history of promoting dangerous conspiratorial tropes. His declaration of support for Palestine Action, now a banned organisation, is his most legally provocative move yet. We expect the police to take action, and if they do not, then we will."
