Legal challenge to Palestine Action ban can go ahead, court rules

Judges reject Home Office attempt to block judicial review of group's proscription under Terrorism Act

A legal challenge to the ban on Palestine Action can go ahead next month after the court of appeal rejected the Home Office's attempt to block the case.

In a blow to the government, on Friday, three judges, led by the lady chief justice, Sue Carr, upheld Mr Justice Chamberlain's decision to grant the Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori a judicial review of the group's proscription under the Terrorism Act.
