Palestine Action will be banned as a proscribed terrorist group after a High Court judge denied an injunction to block the legislation. This decision follows Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000, which criminalizes membership and support for the group. The ruling aims to serve public interest, despite the severe consequences for members. Huda Ammori, the group's co-founder, plans to challenge the proscription in court, asserting the group's commitment to non-violence and civil disobedience as a form of protest.
Mr Justice Chamberlain noted that the interim relief would suspend the effect of an order which the home secretary considered to be required in the public interest.
Raza Husain KC highlighted that this is the first time a non-violent, direct action civil disobedience group has been sought to be proscribed as terrorists.
Huda Ammori stated that the group has never encouraged harm to any person at all, emphasizing a commitment to non-violence in their actions.
The legal challenge by Ms Ammori against the Home Office aims to contest the proscription decision made under the Terrorism Act 2000.
