US Sanctions Block UK Crowdfunder for Palestine Action Supreme Court
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
A UK activist group can't use a US payment processor to fund its Supreme Court fight because Uncle Sam's sanctions reach across the pond.
💡 Why it matters
This case tests how US extraterritorial sanctions can stifle UK legal challenges and free speech, potentially setting a precedent for cross-border activism funding.
CrowdJustice, a UK platform, refused to host a fundraiser for Palestine Action's UK Supreme Court challenge because its US payment processor Stripe cited US sanctions against the group. The ban prevents the group from raising legal fees to fight its proscription.
