Palestine Action challenges UK terror designation before Supreme Court A co-founder of Palestine Action appeared before the UK High Court on Wednesday to challenge the British government's decision to designate the campaign group as a terrorist organization, arguing that the ban is disproportionate and undermines anti-terror legislation. Lawyers for Huda Amory, a co-founder of Palestine Action, argued that when the group was banned, government officials determined that only three of its 385 actions over a five-year period met the legal definition of terrorism. London's High Court initially ruled the ban illegal, but the Court of Appeal overturned the ruling in June, rejecting comparisons with historic movements such as the suffragists, who fought for women's suffrage. Ammoris lawyer Reza Hussain told the court on Wednesday that the suffragettes and other movements "used similar or more extreme tactics than the Palestinian cause," pointing to the suffragette bombing campaign in the early 20th century.
