(Photo: AFP)LONDON - London’s high court on Friday upheld a challenge to a government ban on activist group Palestine Action, saying the proscription had interfered with the right to freedom of speech. Palestine Action remains banned to allow the government to contest the decision, judges said. The government ban made being a member of Palestine Action or demonstrating support for it a serious criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. “We won,” Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, who launched the challenge, wrote on social media after the ruling. One protester with a megaphone said: “Palestine action is BACK!”.
