UK court rules government's terrorism ban on Palestine Action was unlawful

A UK High Court has ruled that the government's decision to label the activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization and ban it was unlawful. The ruling is seen as a significant defeat for the government, with one commentator calling it a 'humiliating blow' for ministers.

The group, which protests against companies it says supply weapons to Israel, can now continue its activities. The court's decision came after Palestine Action appealed the ban.
