0h 45min, jul 4, 2025 y - Judge Denies PA Temporary Block

Description:

Palestine Action has been banned after a judge refused its request to temporarily block the UK government from proscribing it as a terror group.

On Friday, a High Court judge refused a bid to temporarily stop the ban.

The group then challenged the ruling at the Court of Appeal, which late on Friday evening rejected the last-minute appeal.

The ban - which came into effect on Saturday - means supporting Palestine Action will become a criminal offence, with membership or expressing support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

A Home Office spokesperson said on Saturday it welcomed the court's decision.
