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."
