Huda Ammori

Huda Ammori is the co-founder of Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian direct action group that targets organizations it considers complicit in arming Israel. Palestine Action recently challenged the UK government's decision to proscribe the group under anti-terrorism laws. This challenge culminated in a High Court ruling that the ban was unlawful, disproportionate, and constituted a serious interference with the rights to protest and free speech. The ruling is a significant victory for Palestine Action and has been hailed by Ammori as a win for both fundamental freedoms in Britain and the Palestinian cause. While the government is seeking to appeal the decision, the ban remains in place pending the outcome. The case has drawn attention to the debate surrounding the limits of protest and the government's power to proscribe organizations under anti-terrorism legislation.
