The co-founder of a pro-Palestinian campaign group sought on Monday to challenge the British government's decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws, a move her lawyers said had "the hallmarks of an authoritarian and blatant abuse of power".

Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, is challenging the UK government's decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws. The High Court previously refused a pause on the ban, making it illegal to be a group member.

Police officers are getting the law wrong when shutting down legal pro- Palestine protests using terrorism laws, a High Court judge has said. The government controversially decided to designed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, making it a crime to express any support for the direct action protest group.
