Palestine Action Terror Ban Upheld

Five judges overturned a previous High Court ruling, reinstating the proscription that was first imposed under former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

The ruling was a major victory for the government's crackdown on hardline pro-Palestinian activism in the UK. Activists outside the court were arrested for showing support for the now-illegal group, highlighting the immediate silencing effect of the judgment.

Scottish critics called the ruling a "tipping point towards an authoritarian British state."
