A co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, is calling for the suspension of the group's ban after the High Court in London ruled it unlawful on Friday. Three judges found the ban disproportionate, interfering with protest and free speech rights. The proscription order remains in place while the Home Secretary considers an appeal, leaving over 2,500 people in legal limbo. Ammori argues that maintaining the ban is illogical, given its unlawful status, especially considering the hundreds charged under the Terrorism Act for protesting the ban. The Home Secretary maintains the ban followed a rigorous process. Ammori expressed confidence the ban will eventually be lifted.
