The High Court in London rules that the ban of Palestine Action under terrorism legislation is unlawful - but it remains in place for now
In a massive blow to the Home Office, three senior judges say that while Palestine Action use criminality to promote its aims its activities had not crossed the very high bar to make it a terrorist organisation

The Metropolitan Police says it will continue to identify offences where support for Palestine Action is being shown, but will focus on gathering evidence rather than making arrests
The government says it will appeal the decision, with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood saying she's "disappointed"
