LONDON: The British government’s decision to ban on the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization is lawful, London’s Court of Appeal ruled on Monday.
Palestine Action, which had increasingly targeted Israel-linked defense companies in Britain with a particular focus on Israel’s largest defense firm Elbit Systems, was proscribed under terrorism laws last year.
