The Court of Appeal just handed the British state a blank check to criminalize Palestine solidarity, overturning a High Court ruling that correctly found the ban unlawful and a disproportionate attack on free speech. Labeling property damage at weapons factories as a terrorist act — punishable by 14 years — stretches counter-terrorism powers far beyond their intended scope. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent that puts anti-war activists in the same legal category as armed militants.
