Breaking | Hamas Appeal Against UK Ban Reaches Court After Months of Delay - MEM

After more than seven months of delay, Hamas’ legal appeal against the British government’s decision to maintain its proscription will be heard on 26 March 2026 before the Proscribed Organizations Appeal Commission (POAC), with Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk expected to appear via video link.

The appeal challenges the legality of the designation, arguing it is politically driven and legally flawed. UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has attempted to strike out the case entirely without presenting substantive justification, while the court is expected to examine both the unexplained delay and efforts to avoid judicial scrutiny.

Britain’s ban was expanded in 2021 by then-Home Secretary Priti Patel to include Hamas’ political wing, despite the military wing already being proscribed since 2001.

In April 2025, Hamas applied for full deproscription, supported by testimony from 20 experts, including historian Avi Shlaim and former ICJ judge Professor John Dugard.

The appeal argues Hamas poses no threat to British national security and has never conducted operations outside Palestine.
