For the first time in history, a British court will attempt to sentence activists taking direct action as terrorists despite not being convicted of terror charges. This was kept secret from the jury and UK media has been barred from disclosing it until now. Harriet Williamson reports.

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.
