The Filton 25 are a group of direct actionists who targeted Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, to stop the genocide in Gaza.

They were all acquitted of the most serious charge of aggravated burglary and were released from prison.

However, following the retrial of the first 6, four of them were remanded back into prison and are now facing sentencing on 12th of June with a possible terrorism connection.

This is the first time in UK history that pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.

📅 12th June
📍 Woolwich Crown Court
⏰ 10am–5pm

Join the mobilisation and show that direct action is not terrorism.

Write to court and demand that Judge Jeremy Johnson be removed from the case.

The racist killing of #YvesSakila earlier this month at the hands of security guards in Dublin has rightly provoked outrage in Ireland and abroad. Yet unions, representing thousands of migrant workers have remained silent while the bosses play divide-and-rule. We join the many demanding: No cover up, no delays! justice for Yves!

Chauvin murdered George Floyd 6 years ago & sparked the largest black movement in decades. Today, cops are still killers & BLM is gone. We must learn what went wrong and rebuild the movement anew: against liberal charlatans and based on the working class! https://t.co/5deXf5Jdyp

The possible prosecution of a barrister for seeking the most effective defence for their client is infuriating and a serious attack on our democratic rights. It points to the fact that the justice system is clearly designed to protect the class interests of those in power.

Barrister faces contempt over Palestine Action jury speech: tehn case against Rajiv Menon KC is believed to be the first contempt case against a barrister over a jury speech in living memory and potentially in history https://t.co/7uZHT1SGOx

[Partisan Defence Committee/Britain @PDCBritain]

These convictions are a clear and ominous warning of the increasingly heavy repression to come against all who oppose the genocide in Gaza.

While it is good news that 2 activists were acquitted, the remaining 4 are facing sentencing under the terrorism act despite not being charged under the same act.
