Amnesty International and civil liberties campaigners on Monday criticized a court ruling upholding the UK government’s decision to ban Palestine Action, arguing that the move represents an alarming expansion of counter-terrorism powers and threatens the right to protest.
The UK Court of Appeal ruled Monday that the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was lawful, overturning a previous High Court ruling that found the ban breached the right to protest.
Lady Chief Justice Sue Carr said Monday that it was “not a sustainable proposition to portray Palestine Action as a non-violent organization.”

First of all, that’s just another way of declaring the truth inconvenient rather than dealing with the proscription being counterfactual, oppressive, and likely to lead to even worse suppression of dissent down the line.
Secondly, mixing a title of nobility granted by the most inherently privileged family in the world with “justice” is some of the most tone deaf shit ever! 🤦🏻
