Can Palestine Action overturn terrorism proscription? | MEE Live

Palestine Action is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK and any expression of support for the group is illegal.

Although on that...

A legal challenge is underway against the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation” - a decision that has led to months of nationwide protests and thousands of arrests.

It’s the first time any group has been granted the right to appeal its proscription in a judicial review.

It has now become a battle for civil liberties across the UK - but how did we get here?
