The UK government successfully appealed a court ruling that had ordered it to revoke its ban on the group Palestine Action, according to Israeli media. The group remains officially designated as a terrorist organization.
The UK government has won its appeal against a court ruling that had overturned the official designation of the group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, according to Israeli media reports. The court had previously ordered the government to revoke its ban on the group; today's appellate decision upholds the designation, meaning the group remains proscribed under UK terrorism law. Palestine Action is a UK-based activist network that targets Israeli-linked businesses and institutions, using direct-action tactics including property damage. The legal battle centers on the government's authority to designate domestic groups as terrorist entities. No further details on the court's reasoning have been reported.
