Home secretary granted permission to challenge ruling on Palestine Action ban
AI Summary
The UK Home Secretary has been granted permission to appeal the High Court's ruling that the ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. The High Court initially found the ban "disproportionate," arguing the group's activities, which target organizations allegedly complicit in arming Israel, did not meet the threshold for terrorism. Despite this, the ban remains in place pending the appeal. The Home Secretary maintains the ban is necessary, disagreeing with the court's assessment. This decision impacts over 2,500 people arrested for allegedly supporting Palestine Action, with many charged under the Terrorism Act. Court proceedings for those charged have been suspended until the appeal is resolved.
