UK Supreme Court to hear challenge to Palestine Action ban

Britain's Supreme Court will hear an appeal against the government's terrorism-proscription of Palestine Action, a ban that took effect in July 2025. Co-founder Huda Ammori argues the move breaches human rights, while the Home Office says it is necessary to prevent serious criminal damage tied to the group’s protests against an Israeli-owned defence firm. The case, which could reshape anti-terrorism powers in the UK, follows recent court rulings and prosecutions related to the group.
