Britain's High Court says government acted illegally in outlawing protest group Palestine Action
Britain’s High Court has ruled that the government’s decision to outlawed the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful. The panel of three judges said Friday the ban will remain in place pending another hearing while the government prepares an appeal. Last year the U.K. government declared the pro-Palestinian group a terrorist organization alongside the likes of al-Qaida and Hamas, making membership in or support for Palestine Action a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Since then, more than 2,000 people have been arrested for holding signs saying “I support Palestine Action.”

Palestine Action Activists On Hunger Strike Reach ‘Critical Phase’ - PopularResistance.Org
British doctors warned on 6 January that Palestine Action-linked prisoners refusing food in UK jails were facing life-threatening risks, describing them as “well into the critical phase,” as the hunger strikers vowed to continue despite repeated hospitalizations. The protest involves activists detained over alleged actions targeting UK sites connected to Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems – a company that has recorded record profits since the start of the Gaza genocide by supplying the Israeli military with weapons, munitions, and surveillance systems – as well as a Royal Air Force base.
