Hawzah News Agency- demonstrators gathered outside of the court on Friday in support of the group, holding placards that read “we won” and “I’m not a terrorist.”
Huda Ammori, the co-founder of Palestine Action who brought the appeal over the designation to the High Court, also celebrated the decision. “We won. The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech'', she said.
The government’s designation of Palestine Action as a terror group last year drew significant criticism from high-profile organizations such as Amnesty International, the U.K.-based Jewish Voice for Labour, and others.
United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Türk referred to the decision as “disproportionate and unnecessary''.
In August, hundreds of protesters were arrested by police as they gathered outside the British Parliament, holding placards in support of Palestine Action.
