Palestine Action Co-Founder Wins Bid to Challenge UK Ban
Huda Ammori, who helped start Palestine Action, can now legally challenge the UK government.
The government banned the group because they thought it was involved in terrorism.
Ammori believes this is wrong and wants to fight it in court.
The court agreed to let her have a full case, meaning they will hear her argument.
Being part of the group could now lead to jail time.
The case is about whether the government had the right to ban the group, with Ammori arguing it limits people's right to speak freely.
Co-founder of Palestine Action won the bid to challenge the UK government's ban.
The challenge is against the group's proscription under anti-terrorism laws.
Proscription makes membership of the group a crime, punishable by up to 14 years.
The High Court ruled that the challenge against the ban was "reasonably arguable".
Palestine Action has targeted Israel-linked companies in Britain with various actions.
