UK Court of Appeal upholds government ban designating Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.
The UK Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism laws was lawful and proportionate. The ruling overturns a February High Court decision that had found the ban unlawful. Approximately 3,000 arrests have been made under the proscription, which makes supporting the group a criminal offense.

The split, in one line
The UK and Israeli press emphasize the court's finding that Palestine Action operated with covert cells and used violence amounting to terrorism. Al Jazeera foregrounds that the group targets corporate enablers of Israel's genocidal regime and notes the 3,000 arrests of protesters.
