UK Court Rules Ban on Palestine Action Unlawful
A UK High Court ruled the ban unlawful. The government had banned Palestine Action, a protest group.
The court found the ban violated two rights. These were freedom of speech and freedom to gather.
The ban was too harsh a response. Palestine Action's co-founder won the legal fight. The government said it would appeal the ruling.
Klear Note — Palestine Action is a protest group that demonstrates about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. UK courts can overturn government decisions if they violate basic rights like free speech.
