According to The Guardian, Ammori has been fighting to overturn the ban since it was imposed in July last year, which she argues is disproportionate and unlawful. The High Court initially ruled in her favor in February, but that decision was later overturned by the Court of Appeal.
Meanwhile, dozens of protesters were arrested outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court for expressing support for Palestine Action. As reported by The Guardian, 117 people were detained, while Los Angeles Times and Al Jazeera both cited the Metropolitan Police's figure of 77 arrests.
Ammori welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision, stating that the ban has become a vehicle for a broader crackdown on expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people. She also criticized what she described as an unprecedented attack on free speech and the right to protest in the UK.
