The UK government’s ban on the activist group Palestine Action is facing legal challenges in court.
The group, known for protesting Israeli arms trade, argues that the ban infringes on their right to protest and freedom of expression.
Officials maintain the ban is necessary to prevent threats to public order and national security.
The case is being closely watched by human rights organizations and civil liberties advocates.
Lawyers for Palestine Action claim the government’s decision is disproportionate and politically motivated.
They are seeking a judicial review to have the ban overturned or limited in scope.
The court hearings are expected to last several days, with both sides presenting evidence and expert testimony.
Observers say the outcome could set a precedent for how activist groups are treated under UK law.
