High Court Rules U.K. Government’s Ban on Palestine Action Unlawful

HeadlineFeb 13, 2026

The United Kingdom’s High Court has overturned the government’s ban on the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action, although the organization will remain proscribed as the U.K. government appeals the ruling. Last July, the British government banned Palestine Action under the U.K.'s strict anti-terrorism laws, adding it to a list that includes ISIS and al-Qaeda. Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori, who challenged the ban in court, said in a statement, “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.”
