The UK High Court ruled that the British government's ban on Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian group, was unlawful. The court stated the decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a "terror" organization was disproportionate. Huda Ammori, cofounder of Palestine Action, celebrated the ruling as a "victory for Palestine," stating the ban backfired and raised the group's profile. Founded in 2020, Palestine Action targets weapons manufacturers, particularly Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms company, to disrupt what it sees as British complicity in Israeli war crimes. The group uses direct action to shut down weapons factories, aiming to prevent weapons from being used in what they consider genocide.
