UK to appeal High Court ruling that granted Palestine Action a victory

The United Kingdom is set to appeal a High Court ruling that deemed the ban on Palestine Action illegal. The court described the designation of the direct-action group as a terrorist organization as 'disproportionate'. Since the ban last summer, over 2,700 people have been arrested for supporting the group, despite the government's setback. London's Metropolitan Police announced it was unlikely to arrest supporters but later reversed that policy.
