Ankara: The UK's highest court granted permission on Thursday for Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori to challenge a Court of Appeal ruling upholding a ban on the group. Ammori has been fighting to have the decision overturned amid a mass civil pro-Palestine campaign.

According to Anadolu Agency, Ammori has been given the green light to appeal the Court of Appeal decision, with the case scheduled to be heard in the final quarter of 2026. "We will be arguing in the Supreme Court that the ban is unlawful, as it is disproportionate to free speech and the right to protest. The fight continues," Ammori wrote on US social media company X.

The Defend Our Juries group reported that 70 individuals have been arrested under the terrorism law by officers outside the Westminster Magistrates Court. Palestine Action was banned last July under the Terrorism Act following an incident where group members entered a Royal Air Force base and spray-painted two aircraft, resulting in £7 million ($9.4 million) in damage, according to police.

Since the ban, hundreds of pro-Palestine activists have been arrested across the UK. In February, the high court ruled the ban was disproportionate and unlawful, but this decision was overturned last month by the Court of Appeal. Human rights groups and UN experts have criticized the increasing crackdown on peaceful protests in the UK, urging the government to reverse its ban on Palestine Action as a terror group.
