Freedom of expression and lawful gathering has prevailed in London courts.


UK ban on Palestine Action ruled unlawful as government indicates it will appeal | Jewish News - Feb 13th 2026 |

After the ruling, Ammori said: "This is a monumental victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain and in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history.

"Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a 'terrorist' group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes.

"This ban was unlawful, resulting in the unlawful arrest of nearly 3,000 people - among them priests, vicars, former magistrates and retired doctors - under terrorism laws for simply sitting in silence while holding signs reading: 'I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action'.
