A legal challenge to the designation of Hamas as a ‘terrorist’ group has been sent to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper.
You can read the case here:
One of the legal team behind this, Franck Magennis, outlines the case, how Hamas was proscribed in the first place, the legal procedure involved in the challenge and how the mainstream media have attacked him for taking the case.
He is joined by Dr Deepa Driver, the Vice-Chair of the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers and holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, who supports the application.
