UK — The UK Supreme Court granted Huda Ammori permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s ruling on the ban of Palestine Action. The top court stated the case will be heard in the final quarter of this year.

Huda Ammori is a co-founder of Palestine Action and an activist. An appeal is a resort to a superior court to review the decision of an inferior court or administrative agency. The UK Supreme Court was established in 2009 and serves as the final court of appeal in the United Kingdom for all civil cases and criminal cases from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The legal dispute centers on the status of Palestine Action, which was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July 2024 under the Terrorism Act 2000. The Home Secretary at the time cited repeated acts of property damage and public disorder linked to the group’s demonstrations targeting companies alleged to support Israel. The High Court ruled in February 2025 that the ban on Palestine Action was disproportionate and unlawful, emphasizing insufficient evidence of direct incitement to violence. The Court of Appeal overturned the High Court's decision last month. The Court of Appeal ruled that the proscription of Palestine Action was lawful on 15 June 2026, deferring to the executive’s assessment of public safety.

More than 3,500 people have been arrested for alleged support of Palestine Action since the ban, with detentions occurring across England, Scotland, and Wales. The legal cases of individuals arrested for alleged support of Palestine Action are on hold pending resolution of the proscription's legality. PureSource News previously reported that Allen and Kenrick Challenge Arrests in Scotland's High Court, arguing that their arrests violated freedom of expression protections under the European Convention on Human Rights.

The resolution of this appeal determines the legality of the proscription that has led to thousands of arrests. With more than 3,500 individuals detained for alleged support, the Supreme Court's ruling will directly impact the proceedings currently on hold. The outcome will establish whether the ban remains in force or if the High Court's initial finding of disproportionality stands. Legal experts anticipate a decision by early 2027.
