Palestine Action banned after judge denies temporary block

Palestine Action has been banned after a High Court judge denied their request to temporarily block the UK government from proscribing it as a terror group. The decision, which came into effect recently, criminalizes supporting the group, with penalties of up to 14 years in prison for membership or expressing support. This ban follows actions by Palestine Action, including causing damage to planes at RAF Brize Norton, leading to the government's move to add them to the list of proscribed organizations under the Terrorism Act 2000.
