UK granted permission to appeal ruling that Palestine Action ban was unlawful

The ⁠British ⁠government has been given permission to appeal ⁠against a ruling that its ban ⁠on the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation was unlawful.

London’s High Court ⁠granted Britain’s Home Office permission to challenge its ruling, saying ‌the ban would remain in place pending ‌the ‌appeal.

The court had ruled this month that ⁠the ban was unlawful.

Palestine ‌Action was proscribed in July after targeting Israel-linked defence companies in Britain, often blocking ⁠entrances or spraying ⁠red paint.
