Arrested retirees ‘vindicated’ by ruling against Palestine Action proscription

Protesters welcome high court decision but many remain in legal limbo as government prepares to lodge appeal

Retirees making up some of the nearly 3,000 people arrested for supporting Palestine Action since the organisation was proscribed have said they feel vindicated" by the high court's decision to overturn the ban this week.

However, uncertainty remains over whether their trials under terror laws may still go ahead after the government revealed it plans to appeal against the judgment made on Friday by three of the UK's most senior judges.
