UK Supreme Court to hear appeal against Palestine Action terrorist ban

The British government will defend its decision to ban Palestine Action at the UK Supreme Court, Euronews reported. The two-day hearing is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Co-founder Huda Ammori filed the appeal against the designation of the pro-Palestinian group as a terrorist organisation, according to Euronews. [1]

The prohibition of Palestine Action has failed to quell support for the organisation, leading to mass arrests across the United Kingdom, Euronews reported. The hearing takes place as the government faces ongoing legal resistance to the proscription. [1]

Palestine Action is a British direct action network founded in 2020. Since 2025, the group has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000. Under this act, membership in, material support for, or displaying items in support of the group is a criminal offence in the United Kingdom. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom serves as the final court of appeal for all civil cases in the country. [13][14]

In May 2026, four members of Palestine Action were convicted of criminal damage following a factory raid that caused an estimated 1 million pounds of damage. One member was also convicted of inflicting grievous bodily harm after striking a police officer with a sledgehammer. [15]
