众筹平台CrowdJustice因使用美国支付处理商Stripe而拒绝为Palestine Action的英国最高法院法律挑战提供筹款服务1。Stripe确认无法支持与Palestine Action相关或为其受益的任何账户或交易，包括为法律诉讼筹资的情况1。这一决定源于美国对Palestine Action实施的制裁，该制裁由唐纳德·特朗普上月根据2001年《爱国者法案》的权力实施1。
Palestine Action联合创始人Huda Ammori对此表示："美国和英国政府正在尽一切可能阻止我们，以对付我们。"1前英国外交官Craig Murray在苏格兰单独挑战该禁令，其CrowdJustice众筹活动也遭撤下1。相比之下，英国政府在高等法院为禁令进行辩护已花费至少70万英镑1。2024年6月英国内政大臣Yvette Cooper宣布禁止Palestine Action时，同一平台上的众筹活动在数天内筹得超过30万英镑1，而如今类似的筹款努力因美国金融制裁而受阻。
Crowdfunding platform CrowdJustice has refused to host a fundraising campaign for Palestine Action's legal challenge to a UK government ban on the organization, citing US sanctions against the group 1. The decision stems from CrowdJustice's use of American payment processor Stripe, which confirmed it cannot support accounts or transactions related to Palestine Action, including those for financing legal proceedings 1.
The blocking of the fundraiser significantly hampers the organization's ability to cover legal costs as it prepares to challenge the prohibition in the UK Supreme Court. The US sanctions were imposed last month by Donald Trump under powers granted by the 2001 Patriot Act 1. Meanwhile, the UK government has already spent at least £700,000 defending the ban in the High Court 1.
Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori responded to the funding obstacles, stating: "The US and UK governments are doing everything they can to stop us, in order to come after us" 1. The fundraising restrictions extend beyond Palestine Action itself; a separate CrowdJustice campaign launched by former UK diplomat Craig Murray, who is independently challenging the ban in Scotland, was also removed from the platform 1. In June 2024, when UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper initially announced the prohibition on Palestine Action, a CrowdJustice fundraiser had raised over £300,000 within days 1.
