    Another hearing is scheduled for 21 July when Palestine Action will apply for permission for a judicial review to quash the order. In the meantime, and unless the judicial review is successful, membership of, or inviting support for, the group will carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.

    So they have a hearing, and presumably legal representation, but they can’t legally have any members at the time of the hearing? What a load of shit.
