Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori has asked the UK Supreme Court to quash the government’s decision to ban the group as a terrorist organization. Her lawyers say the group was “branded terrorists for trying to save lives,” as it targeted companies supplying weapons used in the genocide in Gaza. The hearing began on November 4, with dozens of protesters gathering outside the court and around 25 taken away by police. Ammori’s lawyer, Raza Husain KC, told the court that only three of the group’s 385 actions over five years were assessed as meeting the Terrorism Act definition, and only because of serious property damage, which is less than 1 percent. He said Palestine Action is the first of 98 banned organizations proscribed solely for property damage, with no suggestion that it advocated violence against people.

Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori said the group was banned as a terrorist organisation mainly because it was trying to save lives in Palestine as she continues her legal challenge against the proscription.
