US EditionJudge allows Palestine Action to challenge Home Office over terrorism ban
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 30 – The challenge claims the ban unlawfully restricts freedom of expression and assembly, with the Home Office defending the designation that carries up to 14 years imprisonment.
- On July 21, a judge allowed Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori to challenge the UK Home Office's ban on the group as a terror organisation.
- The ban followed Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's decision after activists damaged two RAF Brize Norton Voyager planes on June 20, prompting claims the UK had become an international outlier.
- The judge found there were credible grounds to believe the ban disproportionately infringed on Ammori's rights and that Cooper may have violated natural justice by not consulting Palestine Action prior to the proscription.
- Officials acknowledged the ban might be seen as biased against British Muslims and that police noted Palestine Action's activities were unaffected by ordinary investigations, while the group carried out over 385 direct actions causing estimated £7 million damage.
- The legal challenge highlights tensions between counterterrorism measures and freedom of expression, suggesting a substantive hearing will consider if the ban unlawfully limits legitimate protest.
