We welcome the court’s finding that the proscription of Palestine Action was UNLAWFUL.
This case has exposed a deeper problem where the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred.

So the Palestine Action ban has been ruled unlawful by the UK courts.
The government knew this would be the case at the time but they were willing to go against the law in an attempt to deny people their human rights.

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it.
But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy.
Both present major threats to public life.

The proscription of Palestine Action was unjustifiable and the High Court agrees.
Let's not forget the alleged role of CMS Strategic's Georgia Pickering in the smearing of Pal Action (planting false stories in the press of funding from Iran).
