Arrested protesters devastated after appeal court rules ban on Palestine Action is lawful

Proscription of direct action group has led to more than 700 people being charged under Terrorism Act

Protesters arrested for allegedly supporting Palestine Action have expressed anger at the court of appeal's decision that the ban on the direct action group was lawful.

On Monday, five judges overturned the high court's February ruling that proscription was unlawful, meaning that more than 3,000 people who have been arrested under the Terrorism Act since proscription, more than 700 of whom have been charged, could now face prosecution.
