“A pro-Palestinian protest group won permission from a judge on Wednesday to challenge the British government’s decision to ban it as a terrorist organization. The government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer banned Palestine Action on July 5, saying that the group’s campaign of vandalism, including of military planes at a Royal Air Force base, had put Britain’s national security at risk. As a result of the ban, the group was added to a list of terrorist organizations that includes ISIS and Al Qaeda, prompting criticism from the United Nations and a broad range of human rights groups that argued the decision was disproportionate and a threat to free speech.” (07/30/25)
