Palestine Action has appealed to the UK’s Supreme Court to overturn the government’s decision to classify the organization as a terrorist group. The legal challenge comes after at least 4,000 individuals were arrested on terrorism-related charges since the ban was introduced in July 2022. Palestine Action’s co-founder, Huda Ammori, argues that the ban has criminalized peaceful protest for the first time in British history.
She emphasizes that the evidence from UN experts, Amnesty International, Liberty, and even a former MI6 director supports her claim. Ammori also highlights the prime minister’s own national security adviser’s wife has openly expressed support for Palestine Action. The organization maintains it has never promoted violence, instead utilizing non-violent methods like civil disobedience.
Ammori urges the Supreme Court to halt what she describes as "authoritarian overreach" and "chilling censorship."
