Defend Our Juries plans a London protest on Oct. 31 against the proscription of Palestine Action, days before the Supreme Court considers the legality of the ban.
The group describes the gathering as a mass action involving signs. Its event page lists a 9 a.m. ET (1 p.m. GMT) start, while the sign-up page says organizers will announce the precise meeting point later. Defend Our Juries calls the proscription “a huge attack on our democratic right to protest.”
The case concerns Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, who is appealing the Home Secretary’s decision to proscribe the group under the Terrorism Act 2000. The Supreme Court granted her permission to appeal in part on July 29, 2026.
The proscription took effect on July 5, 2025. On June 15, 2026, the Court of Appeal allowed the Home Secretary’s appeal and ruled the ban lawful, reversing a High Court decision that had found it unlawful. The appeals court concluded that national-security concerns and risks to people or property justified the restrictions the ban placed on speech and assembly.
The Home Office says Palestine Action’s property damage met the statutory test for proscription and that lawful protests in support of Palestinians remain permitted.
Across Great Britain, the Home Office counted 3,061 terrorism-related arrests in the year ending March 31, 2026, and linked 2,819 of them to support for Palestine Action, or 92%. The department said the figures may be revised.
Separately, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added Palestine Action to its Specially Designated Nationals list on Aug. 26, 2026, identifying it as a “Transnational Terrorist Group.” The Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4-5.
