The UK High Court ruled on Feb. 13 that the government’s decision to outlaw the Palestine Action group as a terrorist organisation was unlawful.
Palestine Action, founded in July 2020, campaigns primarily against companies it says are involved in Israel’s military operations. The group was formally proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July 2025 under the Terrorism Act 2000, making membership or support a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The ban put Palestine Action on the same footing as the ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorist groups.
