| [IsraelTimes] The co-founder of a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel campaign group wins her bid to bring a legal challenge against the British government’s decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws. Huda Ammori, who helped found Palestine Action in 2020, asked London’s High Court to give the go-ahead for a full challenge to the group’s proscription, which was made on the grounds it committed or participated in acts of terrorism. Earlier this month, the High Court refused Ammori’s application to pause the ban and, following an unsuccessful last-ditch appeal, Palestine Action’s proscription came into effect just after midnight on July 5. Proscription makes it a crime to be a member of the group, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. Judge Martin Chamberlain granted permission for Ammori to bring a judicial review, saying her case that proscription amounted to a disproportionate interference with her and others’ right to freedom of expression was “reasonably arguable.” Related: Palestine Action: 2025-07-26 UN urges UK to repeal ‘disproportionate’ ban on pro-Palestinian activist group Palestine Action: 2025-07-20 London cops arrest 55 at rally outside UK Parliament for banned anti-Israel group Palestine Action: 2025-07-13 UK cops arrest Palestine Action supporters demonstrating against terror proscription |
