Banning Palestine Action as a terror group would have a “chilling effect”, the Court of Appeal has been told in a last-minute challenge to temporarily stop the ban.

Earlier on Friday Huda Ammori, the group’s co-founder, unsuccessfully asked the High Court to temporarily block the Government from designating the group as a terrorist organisation, before a potential legal challenge against the decision to proscribe it under the Terrorism Act 2000.
