00:00Huda Amori, who bought the legal challenge against the Home Office over the ban, said she will try to contest
00:07the decision at the Supreme Court or the European Court of Human Rights.
00:12Speaking after Monday's judgment, she said this is a terrifying time for the nation's civil liberties.
00:20It's a terrifying time for dissent generally across the country and this has set a terrible precedent for other direct
00:29action groups.
00:32Asked about the judge's comments that people can lawfully support the Palestinian cause but not Palestine action as a group,
00:39she said she thinks it's a ridiculous statement to make.
00:44In a summary of the judgment, Baroness Carr, sitting with Sir Geoffrey Voss, Lord Justice Edis, Lord Justice Lewis and
00:52Lady Justice Whipple, said
00:54There is a distinction between the expression of an opinion or belief that is supportive of the objects of an
01:01organisation and an expression of an opinion or belief that is supportive of an organisation itself.
01:09These comments were echoed by the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood.
01:15Hundreds of people gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the announcement of the judgment.
01:21Many holding signs in support of Palestine action which prompted arrests from the Metropolitan Police.
