The group were officially proscribed as a terrorist group on July 14, with membership and support now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years behind bars.

The group's co-founder Huda Ammori requested the High Court to temporarily block Labour from banning the group as a terrorist organisation.

A High Court judge refused Ammori's bid with the move brought into effect in the last couple of weeks.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the group in June, stating vandalism by the group was "disgraceful".

She added that the group had a "long history of unacceptable criminal damage".

The group accused Labour of complicity in what it says are Israeli war crimes in its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

Israel has repeatedly denied committing genocide in its war in Gaza, which it says was started after Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.

This is in light of the International Court of Justice concluding that the claim that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza was “plausible”, a verdict that has been denied by Israel.
