High Court Overturns Palestine Action Ban
The High Court has ruled Britain’s ban on Palestine Action unlawful.
A panel of judges found on Friday that the ban resulted in “very significant interference with the right to freedom of speech and the right to freedom of assembly.”
Activists were jubilant.
“Elbit Systems: pack up your bags. Palestine Action is back,” lisa minerva luxx said at a press conference outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Elbit Systems is Israel’s biggest arms firm. It has at least six remaining sites in the UK but Palestine Action’s assertive campaigns have shut down four others.
