高等法院允许巴勒斯坦行动挑战英国恐怖主义禁令

Summary

一位高等法院法官已批准巴勒斯坦行动合法挑战其作为恐怖组织的禁令,尽管该禁令在全面审查期间仍然有效。

巴勒斯坦行动在周三高等法院的一项裁决后,获得了挑战英国政府最近将其列为恐怖组织禁令的权利。该组织曾在与以色列有关的防务公司发起直接行动抗议,上个月因在布里兹诺顿皇家空军基地发生导致重大财产损失的事件,被内政大臣伊薇特·库珀禁止。

代表联合创始人胡达·阿莫里(Huda Ammori)的律师辩称,该禁令侵犯了言论自由并限制了合法抗议。政府坚持认为该禁令是合理的,理由是该组织涉嫌组织严重刑事犯罪活动。根据禁令,成为巴勒斯坦行动的成员或支持该组织均属刑事犯罪,最高可判处14年监禁。

主持此案的张伯伦法官指出,该禁令可能与言论自由权利相冲突,并表示内政大臣本可在采取行动前与该组织协商。他拒绝在全面司法审查之前暂停禁令,司法审查定于11月进行,但强调及时审查的重要性,以避免法律结果不一致。法官称:“那将是混乱的根源,”指的是如果不及时解决禁令合法性问题,可能导致法院判决相互矛盾的风险。他补充说,通过司法审查解决此事具有“强烈的公共利益”。

法庭文件显示,部长和官员们就该禁令进行了至少八个月的讨论,警方和政府部门对行动的有效性及可能被视为国家镇压的看法表达了担忧。外交、联邦及发展事务部警告称,该禁令在国际上可能被视为反应过度,并可能加剧英国国内的紧张局势。自2020年成立以来,巴勒斯坦行动已实施超过385次直接行动,导致超过676人被捕。该组织是首个因造成严重刑事损害而非暴力行为而被恐怖主义法律禁止的团体。

18名个人因涉嫌闯入布里斯托尔一家以色列防务公司面临指控,相关审判预计将在今年晚些时候进行。政府未获准对高等法院允许法律挑战的决定提出上诉。禁令反对者计划于下月初在伦敦举行示威。

Palestine Action has secured the right to challenge its recent proscription as a terrorist organisation by the UK government, following a High Court decision on Wednesday.

The group, which has staged direct action protests at defence companies linked to Israel, was banned last month by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper after an incident at RAF Brize Norton that resulted in significant property damage.

Under the ban, membership or support for Palestine Action is a criminal offence, carrying penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
