Supreme court says Palestine Action co-founder can challenge ban on group
✓The co-founder of Palestine Action has won permission to challenge the ban against the group at the UK’s highest court.
The direct action group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July last year but its co-founder, Huda Ammori, has been fighting to have it overturned amid a mass civil disobedience campaign.
In February, the high court ruled that the ban was disproportionate and therefore unlawful but its decision was overturned by the court of appeal last month.
On Thursday, the supreme court said that Ammori could appeal against the court of appeal’s decision and that the case would be heard in the final quarter of this year.
It means the fate of more than 3,500 people who have been arrested for alleged support of Palestine Action since the ban remains in limbo as their cases are on hold until the legality of proscription has been definitely resolved.
