Palestine Action has been granted an urgent high court hearing to challenge a proposed proscription order that would classify it as a terrorist organization. Announced by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, the order would criminalize membership and support for Palestine Action, with severe penalties. Critics, including civil liberties groups and politicians, have condemned the move as excessively harsh. Co-founder Huda Ammori's legal team argues that the group has not been adequately informed about the basis for the ban or allowed to respond, highlighting a lack of consultation with key civil rights organizations.
"The move has been criticised as draconian by protest groups, civil liberties organisations and various politicians."
"While extensive consultation has taken place with the Israeli government and arms companies, no opportunity has been provided for other groups affected or concerned by the proposal to proscribe Palestine Action."
