‘Not consistent’: why the high court ruled the Palestine Action ban unlawful

Huda Ammori, one of the co-founders of Palestine Action, has successfully challenged a decision by the UK government to ban the group under the Terrorism Act 2000. The high court allowed or accepted Ammori’s claim on two grounds and dismissed it on two others. However, the judges made it clear that the ban remained in place for now, and the government will appeal.

The Metropolitan police indicated officers were unlikely to arrest people simply for showing support for Palestine Action until the legal situation was clarified.
