Massive Attack have shared their reaction to today's British High Court ruling that Keir Starmer's government decision to proscribe the activist group Palestine Action under anti-terrorism legislation was unlawful.
Although the group remains banned for now, three High Court judges ruled that its activities do not make it a terrorist organisation. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says that the Labour government will appeal the decision.
Last summer, Massive Attack bandleader Robert del Naja has hit out at Keir Starmer's "ugly" government following the August 9 arrest of 532 individuals, half of them aged 60 or over, at a pro-Palestine protest in Parliament Square in London. Those arrested were holding placards displaying the message, "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action", and were arrested under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act.
