US EditionPalestine Action ban 'abuse of power', court told
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 22 – Co-founder Huda Ammori seeks legal review of the UK ban on Palestine Action, with over 200 arrests since July 5 under anti-terror laws criminalizing membership or support.
- On July 5, 2025, the proscription was enacted after Palestine Action's legal challenge, marking the formal ban. The High Court in London dismissed Ammori’s bid to pause the ban on July 4.
- On June 23, 2025, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced the group's proscription, citing an estimated £7 million in damage caused by vandalism at RAF Brize Norton.
- Authorities reported over 200 arrests, with more than 72 last weekend and 29 the previous week, showing ongoing enforcement since the ban took effect.
- During the hearing, lawyers for Huda Ammori described the ban as `the hallmarks of a blatant abuse of power` and labeled the UK `an international outlier`.
- A legal decision is expected after Mr Justice Chamberlain concludes the hearing on Monday, with a ruling potentially issued later.
