The UK government defended its designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation before the Supreme Court on Thursday, arguing the group is not merely a non-violent protest movement, Al-Monitor reported. A government lawyer presented the case to Britain's highest court as the organisation challenges the ban.
Palestine Action has contested the classification, asserting it engages in non-violent activism. The legal proceedings centre on whether the government's terrorist designation meets legal standards for such designations in the UK.
