      The key bit.
      > ruled the decision to proscribe the group was unlawful but the ban on the group would remain to give the government time to appeal.

      In the meantime the goal has already been reached. Scaring people and silencing voices

      What an absolute clusterfuck for the UK state. A govt using the law unfairly against one protest group, millions of people arguing “the law is the law” and now finding out that the state was abusing their trust and compliance in the law for political trickery.

      It’s like nothing has been learned since the northern Ireland troubles when the high court had to correct the British govt on numerous occasions of misapplication of its own law and injustice.

      Why have a lords, who are supposed to not need to be political like the commons, if bad law can be enacted so easily? Why have an attorney general if this shit gets past their professional review when home secretaries are tempted?

      The UK needs to have a good look at itself.

      From the article

      >Ammori called it a “monumental victory”. She said: “We were banned because Palestine Action’s disruption of Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit Systems, cost the corporation millions of pounds in profits and to lose out on multibillion-pound contracts.

      This is the event she is referring to, members of Palestine action broke into an Elbit military factory and attacked multiple people including security guards with weapons, used further threats of violence and also attacked a police officer with a sledgehammer and fractured her spine, they also broke into an RAF base and sabotaged several military planes last year as well. Maybe on technical grounds the ban is unlawful but this is not a peaceful protest group, attacking military assets at the time of such heightens security threats should not be something we accept no matter how important these people think their cause is.

      There are loads of videos of it on YouTube if you don’t want to believe me as well.

      The UK needs to be principled on democracy and can’t let the fear of foreign pressure (USA and Israel) dictate the state of affairs at home.

      Of course it was unlawful. It’s Israel manipulating foreign politicians. Of course it was held in secret, it’s not a good look.

      It must be only a ”terrorist organisation” where the majority of arrested supporters are pensioners and disabled people. UK gov really shot itself in the foot and dragged itself to this situation

      Am I the only one to notice how the Guardian didn’t mention any of the things Palestine Action dis to get banned – like sabotaging aircraft or attacking a police officer? It’s almost as if they don’t want people knowing why they got proscribed.

      I’d rather they stay banned and all supporters get deported.

      Let’s not forget all those terrorists retirees that got arrested for holding a sign though. And specially all the people that cheered for it.

      Good. That ban was one of the most egregious examples of Western democracies abusing anti-terrorist laws to punish and intimidate pro-Palestine movements. Freedom of speech is non-negotiable.
