The Supreme Court will hear this week from lawyers for Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori that the group’s proscription should be quashed.
It will be the last legal opportunity to challenge the ban in Britain, with the fate of thousands arrested for allegedly supporting the group hanging in the balance.
Ammori was given permission to appeal the proscription earlier this year on one ground, focussing on whether it is compatible with freedom of expression and assembly.
