About this listen
In early April, the proscribed Palestinian resistance movement Hamas instructed UK-based lawyers to submit an application to the UK government seeking the removal of its political wing from the UK's list of designated terrorist organisations. One of the lawyers involved in the case, Franck Magennis, joins us in this episode of the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast to break down the legal complexities for listeners unfamiliar with the workings of the legal system.
From the practical implications of the proscription on the ground in Gaza, to the legal arguments underpinning the application and the broader aims of the case, Mr Magennis also sheds light on the colonial-era legislation that enabled such designations in the first place.
This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand how legal systems intersect with foreign policy, resistance movements, and the legacies of empire.
