Palestine Action's ban appeal entered closed proceedings at the UK Supreme Court on Thursday following the conclusion of public arguments. Government lawyers argued that the group's activities caused serious property damage, which met the legal definition of terrorism. They maintained that Palestine Action stood outside the tradition of civil disobedience in Britain and targeted Jewish businesses.
The group denies these claims. The case will now be heard in closed proceedings, with the government presenting secret evidence to the five Supreme Court judges.
