UK High Court rejects request to pause ban on Palestine Action

On July 5, 2025, London’s High Court dismissed Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori’s plea to delay the UK government’s ban under the Terrorism Act 2000. The ban, backed by a parliamentary vote on July 2, criminalises membership or support with penalties up to 14 years in prison. The court upheld that the proscription decision preceded the RAF Brize Norton break-in—where activists vandalised two military planes—and was in the public interest.The ruling paves the way for the full judicial review scheduled for July 2.
