The UK Supreme Court is looking at a case involving the protest group Palestine Action. The government previously banned the group, labeling it a danger. Now, the group is asking the court to overturn that decision.
Lawyers for the activists told the judges that the ban is hurting trust in anti-terrorism laws. They argued that the group’s tactics are similar to those used by historical protesters, like the suffragettes who fought for women's right to vote. They claim the government is being too harsh by using these specific laws against them.
While the legal arguments happen inside the courtroom, things are busy outside. Police made several arrests as supporters of the group gathered to show their support.
This case is a big deal because it looks at the balance between public safety and the right to protest. The court will now decide if the ban on the group should stay in place or if it should be removed.
