Government can challenge Palestine Action appeal
- The UK government intends to appeal a High Court decision that permits Huda Ammori, a founding member of Palestine Action, to contest the group's designation as a terrorist organization.
- The ban was imposed after Palestine Action activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and damaged two military aircraft in June, prompting Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's decision on July 5.
- On July 30, a judge allowed Ammori’s legal challenge to move forward, noting possible infringements on free speech rights and a failure to consult Palestine Action prior to the group’s proscription.

- The legal contest underscores tensions over activism, free speech rights, and state power, with protests ongoing and concerns about the ban's wider impact on civil liberties.
