The co-founder of a U.K.-based Palestinian rights organization that has been outlawed by the British government won a legal bid Wednesday to challenge the decision to label the group a terrorist organization.
A High Court judge ruled that the government's decision on Palestine Action can be reviewed. The ban puts Palestine Action on par with the likes of al-Qaida and Hamas. It means membership in the group or support for its actions is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
