UK media has been barred from disclosing it until now.
How had it not been ‘leaked’ to foreign media and reported on? It is nothing short of disgusting that the government can act with such impunity when they decide to do something that they are fully aware would generate harsh criticism.
Nothing that the government do or decide upon should be banned from the media, with the exception of where it may affect children in a negative way.
The whole reason that they are in their positions are because people who trusted them gave them their vote. It absolutely flies a massive “fuck you” in the face of that.
It was. Zarah Sultana even raised the issue using parliamentary privilege a couple of weeks ago. Sadly not enough people noticed.
It was. I’ve known about this for weeks, so any anglophone journalist probably has as well. They don’t want to report on it.
It’s being done because otherwise there’s no way for the government to reimprison them, which makes them look weak on terrorism after the furore they’ve already created about PA. They’ve already spent two years in prison pretrial, which counts triple towards a future prison sentence if they’re found guilty. None of them can actually be put away for more than 6 years even if they’re found guilty, so unless the government finds a way to increase the sentencing every single activist will walk free from court regardless of the result.
Who are they supposed to have been terrorising? On whom did they inflict terror?
the judge ruled that there appeared to be a ‘terrorist connection’ as the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting its access to weapons.
This is suuuch a stretch.
It’s just not terrorism, by any normal understanding of that word. It doesn’t inflict any terror on anyone, either intentionally or unintentionally, nor does it even attempt to inflict terror.
They are terrorist because they tried to restrict access to tools of terror.
Imagine vegetarians being accused of animal cruelty because they tried to convince people not to eat animals.
The shareholders?
hahah more or less yeah. Feels like everything is shaped around how much something terrorises shareholders.
Eroding the legitimacy of the courts doesn’t seem like an excellent strategy right now
What legitimacy?
The judge, in fact the whole process was obviously biased against the defendents. How exactly is this a fair trial? The whole thing stinks to the high heavens.
It is really vindicating in a sickening way that the West does not care much about pretending to be free any longer. More and more people take a second look and realize it was only ever so free as long as you were aligned. And it not smart to be aligned with the bourgies if you are a prole.
What the fuck? Starmer must have known about this, never mind about harbouring Mandelson again.
but, didn’t the courts declared that arresting them. qas groundless and illegal, and were all released after a year in jail. then they kept arresting them again?
Rule of Law my ass.
None of that happened.

The ban on Palestine action was illegal. they released over 500 protesters, some spent over a year in jail.
And now they are arresting them again for the same reason. and those who were released are facing a second trial again for the same charges.
You’re confusing two different things. The people in this article stood trial over an incident in Wilton where a building was broken into, property damaged and a police officer severely assaulted. There were two linked trials, and in February one of them resulted in a jury unable to come to a verdict on certain of the charges. The CPS elected to retry the defendants on those charges, and that’s the verdict just in.
You’re confusing that with the unlawful (not illegal) proscription of Palestine Action, which resulted in many arrests of non-violent protestors. There is an appeal pending on the status of the proscription.
sorry, it’s just so hard to keep up with all that bullshit.
I guess we should also be thinking, how many people have been convicted since 9/11 under these secret courts. Yes, most were probably actual terrorists but it would be certain that many innocent people were convicted if you can’t try them in courts designed to mitigate that (jury + beyond resolvable doubt or whatever the term is)
Yes, most were probably actual terrorists
The whole system is corrupted.
The system is behaving as intended, and as it always has. The suffragettes were treated just as harshly.
USA following suit soon in their own way.
It is more like the USA is leading the way, and the UK is taking an example.
