A co-founder of Palestine Action has been granted permission to challenge the decision to ban the group, as police arrested 77 supporters protesting outside the court. The case matters because it tests the legality of the prohibition and its effect on people who publicly support or associate with the organisation.

The court’s decision allows the legal challenge to proceed rather than deciding whether the ban itself was justified. The protest took place outside the hearing, where police made 77 arrests; the article does not establish the outcomes of those cases.
