The Court of Appeal previously upheld the ban last month, with Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr stating that the proscription was a "justified and proportionate interference with individual rights" and that the group "overtly promotes unlawful violence amounting to terrorism". The ban, which came into effect on 5 July last year, criminalises membership of or support for Palestine Action, carrying a potential sentence of up to 14 years in prison. Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, was granted permission to appeal the ruling by three justices at the Supreme Court. The direct action group was proscribed by then-home secretary Yvette Cooper in July 2025 following incidents where members broke into RAF Brize Norton and vandalised jets in protest against the conflict in Gaza.
