Britain's Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that the government's ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was lawful, overturning <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/uk-high-court-rules-palestine-action-terror-ban-as-unlawful">a February High Court decision</a> that had found the proscription disproportionate and unlawful.

Britain's Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that the government's ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was lawful, overturning a February High Court decision that had found the proscription disproportionate and unlawful.

Five senior judges, led by Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr, ruled the ban "struck a fair balance," rejecting comparisons between Palestine Action and groups such as the suffragettes, saying the group "overtly promotes unlawful violence amounting to terrorism."

The ban followed a June 2024 break-in at RAF Brize Norton in which activists damaged two military aircraft, and a 2024 raid on an Elbit Systems factory in Gloucestershire that caused an estimated £1.2 million in damage.

Four Palestine Action activists were sentenced on Friday to a combined total of more than 20 years in prison for the Elbit Systems factory raid. One defendant was also convicted of grievous bodily harm after striking a police officer with a sledgehammer.

Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori said she intends to challenge the ruling at the U.K. Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the ruling "does not affect lawful protest in support of the Palestinian cause."

The U.K. Court of Appeal made the right call, upholding the ban on Palestine Action — a group that promotes unlawful violence. The judge was clear: this isn't civil disobedience like the suffragettes, but terrorism masquerading as activism. Political causes don't grant anyone a free pass to break the law, and this ruling proves it.

The Court of Appeal just handed the British state a blank check to criminalize Palestine solidarity. Labeling property damage at weapons factories as a terrorist act 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.
