The UK Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori against the government's designation of the group as a terrorist organization. The two-day hearing begins Wednesday. Ammori will argue that only 3 of the group's 385 actions over the past 5 years were assessed as meeting the definition of terrorism. The article notes that the ban has failed to quell support, leading to mass arrests. On Saturday, London police arrested over 300 supporters for displaying placards with the now-prohibited slogan: 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.' The article does not include the government's legal arguments for the ban.
