London (CNN) — The UK High Court has ruled that the government’s decision to ban activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization last summer was unlawful.
Friday’s judgment marks a significant victory to civil liberties campaigners, who had argued the ban represented a sweeping overreach of government power, risked criminalizing political dissent and set a far-reaching precedent for the use of anti-terror laws against protest movements.
The co-founder of the group, Huda Ammori, had brought the legal challenge against the British government’s decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws.
In its judgment, the court found that then Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to ban the group last summer was disproportionate. However Judge Victoria Sharp ruled that the ban remains in place pending an appeal process.
It follows one of the largest campaigns of nonviolent civil disobedience in recent history, with nearly 3,000 people – many of them pensioners or the elderly – arrested at solidarity protests nationwide since July.
Most of those arrests were for holding signs that read: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” at the demonstrations, according to Defend Our Juries – which has been instrumental in organizing the protests.
