LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 4: Protester demonstrates outside the High Court as Palestine Action challenges proscription on July 4, 2025 in London, England. The High Court is holding an urgent hearing over Palestine Action's application for judicial review, following the government's decision to proscribe the pro-Palestinian campaign group. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper laid the prescription order after activists from the group broke into RAF Brize Norton and spray-painted two Voyager aircraft on June 20. The ban, which critics have called draconian, will make it illegal to be a member of the group, or to invite support for it. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
