UK High Court rules Palestine Action ban unlawful, keeps proscription in limbo

The UK High Court ruled that the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action under terrorism laws was disproportionate and unlawful, but the group remains proscribed for now pending a further hearing and possible appeal. Police say they will not immediately arrest supporters, instead focusing on gathering evidence for potential offences. The decision elicited mixed reactions across parties and rights groups, and the government has signalled it will appeal.

UK High Court finds Palestine Action ban unlawful, but keeps it during appeal

Britain’s High Court ruled that the government’s 2025 proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful, saying it disproportionately infringed on freedom of speech and assembly and was discriminatory, though the ban remains in effect pending the government’s appeal. The decision noted that only a very small number of actions met the terrorism threshold. Reactions came from Palestine Action, human rights groups, and supporters who argue thousands were arrested under the order for peaceful protests, while officials say the decision underscores the use of terrorism powers.
