UK Court of Appeal upholds government ban designating Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.
The UK Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism laws was lawful and proportionate. The ruling overturns a February High Court decision that had found the ban unlawful. Approximately 3,000 arrests have been made under the proscription, which makes supporting the group a criminal offense.
