She described the group as “a covert organization operating with secret cells to avoid the detection and prosecution of those using violence to destroy the property of third parties” and said “at no stage has Palestine Action suggested that its terrorist activities were either a mistake or an aberration.”
Due to the proscription remaining in place, it is still an offense to support, fund, or belong to Palestine Action.
Huda Ammori, who co-founded Palestine Action in 2020 and brought the appeal over the designation to the high court earlier this year, issued a defiant statement in response to the court ruling.
She vowed to “not stop fighting for the ban to be lifted” and for the “end of the use of terror legislation against us.”
On Friday, four Palestine Action activists were jailed over causing £1.2m of damage at the U.K. site of Elbit Systems, an Israel-based defense firm, in August 2024.
