Descrizione:

MPs have voted in favour of legislation to proscribe group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, passing by 385 votes to 26.

The order, which amends the Terrorism Act 2000, is now expected to be signed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and come into effect later this week.

Once in effect, supporting Palestine Action will become a criminal offence, with membership or expressing support for the direct action group punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

However, legal action is under way to try to temporarily block the order, with a hearing scheduled to take place on Friday at London's High Court.

Palestine Action has been granted the hearing pending further proceedings to decide whether a legal challenge can be brought.
