The Court of Appeal has ruled that the decision to ban Palestine Action as a terror organisation was lawful – this is a breaking story
The Court of Appeal has ruled that the decision to ban Palestine Action as a terror organisation was lawful.
Three judges at the High Court ruled in February that the decision by then-home secretary Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 last year was unlawful, following a legal challenge from the group’s co-founder, Huda Ammori.
