The High Court in the United Kingdom has ruled that the government’s ban on the campaign group Palestine Action as a “terror group” was unlawful and disproportionate. Palestine Action’s cofounder Huda Ammori hailed the ruling as a 'monumental victory' for fundamental freedoms and the Palestinian cause. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the government was disappointed and intended to appeal. The ban remains in place pending further hearings. The Metropolitan Police stated it would take a 'deferred enforcement' approach regarding expressions of support for the group while legal proceedings continue. The government had proscribed the group last June under anti-terrorism laws after it claimed responsibility for a break-in at an RAF base.
