US EditionPalestine Action can still challenge terror ban after government loses court appeal
Huda Ammori challenges the UK Government’s ban on Palestine Action, the first protest group proscribed under terror laws, with over 2,100 arrests linked to the ban, campaigners say.
- Palestine Action will challenge its ban under anti-terror laws after the Government lost its appeal, allowing a judicial review as stated by the court.
- The court ruled that the ban disproportionately interfered with fundamental human rights like freedom of speech and assembly, noting the Government should have consulted the group first.

- A judicial review is set for November 25, which will help determine the lawfulness of the ban, affecting charges against arrested persons related to Palestine Action.
