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. Ammori has recently gained prominence due to the UK High Court's ruling that the government's decision to ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws was unlawful. This ruling, which Ammori hailed as a victory for both civil liberties and the Palestinian cause, came after a legal challenge she brought against the proscription. The court found the ban to be disproportionate and a serious interference with the rights to protest and free speech. While the ban remains in place pending a potential appeal by the Home Secretary, Ammori has stated that the ban has "backfired," raising awareness of Palestine Action's cause. The case highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the balance between national security measures and the right to protest, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
