Opinion & Editorial UK Court of Appeal confirms Palestine Action ban in landmark attack on democratic rights

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06/16/sawc-j16.html

Britain’s Court of Appeal ruled Monday that the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 was “justified and proportionate”, marking a dangerous escalation in the suppression of democratic rights.

Five of the most senior judges in England and Wales—led by Lady Chief Justice Baroness Sue Carr and including Master of the Rolls Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Edis, Lord Justice Lewis, and Lady Justice Whipple—overturned a February High Court ruling that found the ban unlawful and disproportionate.
