Palestine Action remains banned as a terror group in the UK despite its co-founder winning a High Court challenge.

Judges found that the proscription, which categorised the protest group alongside the likes of Islamic State, was disproportionate.

Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The British government's ban on protest organization Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws was ruled unlawful by three judges, who said the move was disproportionate and breached free speech rights.

It remains in place for now to allow further legal argument and the government to consider an appeal.

Britain’s High Court has ruled the government’s decision to outlaw Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was unlawful.

Irish author Sally Rooney was warned by the UK government last summer that she risked committing a terrorist offence after she said she would fund Palestine Action.

The decision to ban the group was unlawful, and a disproportionate interference with the Human Rights Act - specifically the freedom of ​expression and freedom of assembly, a judge rules. The government said it intends to take the case to the Court of Appeal.
