Fight over pro-Palestinian group ban heads to UK's highest court
- On Wednesday, Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori launched a final legal challenge at the Supreme Court to overturn the Labour government's ban of the group under the Terrorism Act.
- The British government banned the group in 2025 after acts of vandalism targeting Elbit Systems, leading to over 4,000 arrests under the Terrorism Act, according to campaign group Defend Our Juries.
- Barrister Raza Husain KC argued that less than 1% of the group's 385 actions met terrorism definitions, while Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband previously noted the ban inadvertently criminalized "grannies and vicars" for terror offences.
- The Jewish Leadership Council and Community Security Trust intervened, claiming the group targets Jewish charities, while the Jewish Bloc warned the proscription risks conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
- A decision from the Supreme Court is expected at a later date, though Ammori has indicated she will pursue the case to the European Court of Human Rights if unsuccessful.
