UK decision to ban Palestine Action as ‘terror group’ unlawful, court says
AI Summary
In February 2026, the UK High Court ruled the government's ban of Palestine Action as a "terror group" unlawful. The pro-Palestinian campaign group's co-founder hailed the ruling as a victory for free speech and the Palestinian cause. The UK government, which banned Palestine Action in June under anti-terrorism laws, expressed disappointment and announced its intention to appeal the court's decision. The ban, which equated the group to organizations like al-Qaeda, had criminalized membership and led to arrests of supporters. The government argued the ban was necessary, while critics cited concerns about free speech and human rights.
