Palestine Action Urges UK Supreme Court to Overturn Terror Ban

According to Bloomberg, lawyers for Palestine Action told the UK Supreme Court that the government's use of anti-terror powers to outlaw the group has led to its total destruction. Al Jazeera English reported that rights activists call the decision a misuse of terrorism powers. Euronews said the two-day hearing is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, and that the ban has not quelled support for the group, with mass arrests across the UK. The New York Times said the government designated the group a terrorist organization last year, prompting criticism. Middle East Eye reported that the British government will defend the ban at the court. The sources describe the case as a challenge to the ban, and no ruling is reported. Summary from 5 sources

Sources differ: Bloomberg describes the ban as leading to the group's total destruction, while Al Jazeera English and Middle East Eye do not state an outcome of this kind.
