Defend Our Juries

Palestine Action is a pro-Palestinian direct action group operating in the UK. They are known for their protests and activities targeting companies they believe are complicit in Israeli actions against Palestinians. The group has faced scrutiny and legal challenges due to their methods. They are newsworthy because the UK government's decision to designate them as a "terror group" under anti-terrorism laws was recently ruled unlawful by the High Court. This ruling, delivered by three senior judges, is a significant victory for the group and has been celebrated by human rights organizations. The court's decision and the government's subsequent appeal highlight the ongoing debate surrounding the group's activities and the limits of government power in designating organizations as terrorist entities. The ruling is relevant as it impacts freedom of speech, the right to protest, and the UK's approach to pro-Palestinian activism.
