UPDATE

On Friday, Huda Ammori, co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, lost her bid to halt the UK government’s move to ban the group under anti-terror laws while she challenges the decision in court.

Ammori, who co-founded the group in 2020, had asked London’s High Court to delay the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a ‘terrorist organization’ until a full legal hearing later this month, where she argues the ban is unlawful.

The UK government moved to outlaw the group this week after its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two aircraft in protest of Britain’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

If the ban proceeds, it would be a criminal offense to belong to Palestine Action, carrying a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.

The activist group, responsible for shutting down Israeli weapons factories in the UK, will be classified as a terrorist organisation by midnight if an appeal to the British High Court fails to deliver results.
