The UK Court of Appeal on 15 June upheld the proscription of Palestine Action, reversing a February High Court ruling that had found the ban unlawful, Amnesty International reported. The appellate decision reinstates restrictions on the activist organization that had been suspended months earlier.
Following the court's decision, the campaign group Defend Our Juries continued its efforts to challenge the proscription. The ruling underscores an ongoing legal dispute in British courts over the status of Palestine Action and the scope of protest restrictions in the country. Arrests at peaceful demonstrations have continued amid the legal proceedings.
