"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"A legal challenge over the proscription of Palestine Action as a terror group is not exceptional and should not be heard at the High Court, lawyers for the Home Office have argued. The group's founder Huda Ammori is taking legal action after the decision by the then home secretary Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, making support or membership of the group a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison."
"According to campaign group Defend Our Juries, more than 1,600 people have been arrested since the ban came into effect on 5 July. Ms Ammori was cleared by Mr Justice Chamberlain to challenge the ban in court after he found that two arguments put forward on her behalf were reasonably arguable. Yvette Cooper announced the ban in July when she was home secretary (PA)"
The Independent sends journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting while keeping content free of paywalls. The Home Office argued that a legal challenge to the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group is not exceptional and should not be heard at the High Court. Huda Ammori, founder of Palestine Action, is pursuing legal action after then home secretary Yvette Cooper proscribed the group, criminalising support or membership with penalties up to 14 years' imprisonment. Campaign group Defend Our Juries reports more than 1,600 arrests since the ban began on 5 July. Mr Justice Chamberlain allowed Ammori to challenge the ban after finding two of her arguments reasonably arguable. Government barristers said the matter could proceed via the home secretary and the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission rather than by High Court judicial review.
