The British government’s decision to ban the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is lawful because of its support for violence, London’s Court of Appeal ruled on Monday.
Palestine Action, which had increasingly targeted Israel-linked defence companies in Britain, with a particular focus on Israel’s largest defence firm Elbit Systems, was proscribed under terrorism laws last year.
London’s High Court ruled in February, after a legal challenge by the group’s co-founder, that the ban unlawfully interfered with freedom of expression, although it remained proscribed pending the government’s appeal.
