Proscribing Palestine Action as terror group ruled lawful as Home Office wins appeal
Proscribing Palestine Action as a terror group has been ruled lawful as the Home Office wins its appeal this morning.
Earlier this year, three judges claimed the decision to proscribe the group was "unlawful" and Yvette Cooper's ban on the organisation should be reversed.
The legal challenge was brought before the court by the organisation's co-founder, Huda Ammori.
The ban, which came into force on July 5, made membership of, or support for, the organisation a criminal offence with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.
It has remained in place while the Home Office battled the legal challenge launched in February.
Shabana Mahmood's department argued that criminal sanctions for dealing with the activists were "insufficients" after the group ramped up protest efforts.
