flag UK court strikes down broad anti-Palestine protest ban as free speech violation.

flag A UK High Court has ruled that the government’s broad enforcement of a ban on Palestine Action violated free speech, after nearly 3,000 people were arrested for peaceful acts like wearing shirts or posting online—actions punishable by up to 14 years in prison under a sweeping definition of “support.” The court found this severely interfered with expression and association. flag The Free Speech Union warns New Zealand against adopting similar vague laws in its review of the Terrorism Suppression Act, cautioning that terms like “support,” “praise,” or “promoting” could criminalize journalism, satire, and protest. flag It urges an absolute safeguard for peaceful speech to prevent misuse of terrorism laws against dissent.
