The Guardian view on Palestine Action: banning the group was a step too far
《卫报》对巴勒斯坦行动的观点：禁止该组织是一步过火的举动

Crucially, the high court found against ministers because proscription amounted to disproportionate interference with the right to protest, which rests on the fundamental rights to freedom of expression and assembly. The judges obviously had a point: the ban did not merely punish acts; it also made it an offence to belong to Palestine Action, or even to speak in support of it. That is how more than 2,700 people found themselves arrested after the ban – mostly for waving placards. More than 500 of those arrested have been charged.
