UK Court of Appeal rules Palestine Action ban to be lawful

2d 5m ago by lemmy.ml/u/pete_link in world from www.middleeasteye.net

The ruling overturned a decision by the High Court which concluded that the proscription of the group was 'unlawful' and 'discriminatory'

From the lead judge: "Reading the written ruling, Lady Chief Justice Sue Carr said that the proscription would 'not prevent public expressions of support for the Palestinian cause or opposition to Israel and to the Israel Defence Forces, or demonstrations targeted at Elbit', referring to Israel's largest weapons manufacturer."

But the government's actions have sought to prevent both.
