Description:

The government has failed in its attempt to block a challenge against its decision to ban Palestine Action under terrorism laws.

In a highly significant ruling, the Court of Appeal paved the way for the review of the ban before a High Court judge next month.

The co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, had won permission earlier this year for that judicial review of the home secretary's ban.

The Home Office said it would consider the implications of the ruling, but said Palestine Action remained a proscribed group and those who support them will "face the full force of the law".

The ban, which started on 5 July, makes membership of, or support for, the direct action group a criminal offence.
