The co-founder of Palestine Action has won permission to challenge the ban against the group at the UK’s highest court. The direct action group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July last year but its co-founder, Huda Ammori, has been fighting to have the ban overturned amid a mass civil disobedience campaign. On Thursday, the supreme court said Ammori could appeal against the court of appeal’s decision and that the case would be heard in the final quarter of this year. Sir Jonathon Porritt was one of those arrested for showing support for Palestine Action, according to the activist group Defend Our Juries. Many arrested on Thursday had previously been arrested for holding placards allegedly supporting Palestine Action.
