“Last week, anti-Israel activist group Palestine Action won a victory in the courts as the High Court of Justice in London declared the government’s 2025 ban on the group disproportionate and unlawful. The ruling could have major implications for free expression in the United Kingdom given how widely and aggressively the ban on Palestine Action was imposed last year. Ultimately, the ban wasn’t just about the group itself or its conduct but a much broader range of speech about the group — all enforced under anti-terror legislation.” (02/19/26)
