Police arrested dozens of people outside a UK Supreme Court hearing on a potential ban of Palestine Action, an activist group, Middle East Eye reported. Lawyers representing the group's co-founder argued during the proceedings that Palestine Action follows traditions established by the Suffragette movement.
The case centers on whether the government can prohibit the organization, which has conducted disruptive protest campaigns. The legal defense framed the group's methods within a historical context of civil disobedience used by earlier British protest movements.
