UK Supreme Court to hear appeal over Palestine Action proscription in November
The UK Supreme Court will hear Huda Ammori's appeal in November, testing whether the government lawfully banned Palestine Action under terrorism laws.
The UK Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal regarding the government's decision to designate the Palestine Action group as a terrorist organization. The hearing is set to take place on November 4-5. The controversy began when the Home Secretary banned the group under the Terrorism Act 2000 in July 2025, following disruptive actions by activists such as breaching security at RAF Brize Norton and occupying facilities of defense suppliers like Elbit Systems.
The appeal challenges the lawfulness of the Home Secretary's decision, arguing that it contravenes the European Convention on Human Rights, particularly Articles 10 and 11. Although a Divisional Court initially upheld Ammori's claim, the Court of Appeal later reversed the decision. The Supreme Court's permission to hear the appeal on these specific grounds will determine whether the statutory power was exercised lawfully.
