One of the jurors in the previous Palestine Action trial speaks out about the travesty of justice we've all just witnessed.
Hopefully more will do the same when they realise the judges intention to make a terrorism link was deliberately hidden from them.
Judge Johnson:
Sentencing the Filton 4 as ‘terrorist’ for over 25yrs
A ‘defence’ prevented from speaking of genocide or ethnic cleansing
A jury that didn’t convict for “terrorism”
A Judge convinced of his sanctity
Amnesty International predicted it:
It’s a ‘new low’
I expected this episode to be both vital and really grim.
In reality - it's vital and really uplifting.
I sat down with 3 carers to hear about their direct experiences of an utterly broken system.

Thugs, targeting black & brown people, with convictions as long as your arm, get a combined sentences of 7 years
Activists targeting a weapons manufacturer they feel is helping arm a genocide get a combined sentence of 22 years
Think about why this is?
Never vote Labour again
FBI shows up to interrogate a U.S. citizen at his house—for writing an anti-ICE social media post.
"This is about comments that you posted online," said agent.
Orders homeowner to stop recording—refuses to even tell him which comments.
Agent wearing unique World Cup uniform to indicate he is currently assigned to work with ICE on immigration issues.
Craig Brittain has been actively documenting and participating in protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
His social media posts videos of demonstrations, conflicts with agents, and calls for the facility’s closure.
Watching this feels utterly chilling. This is a Britain becoming more authoritarian because its government is so slavishly devoted to supporting another country's genocidal campaign.
The 1960s apartheid govt of South Africa labelled the ANC as terrorists and used a compliant judiciary to suppress their activists and supporters. Today's British govt uses the same tactics against Palestine Action and its supporters.
Here's a photo of Judge Quartus de Wet who sentenced Nelson Mandela to life in prison, alongside Judge Jeremy Johnson who yesterday sentenced four Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even though they were never charged with terrorism, because such a charge would've been thrown out by every jury in the land.
Johnson would have fitted in very well in South Africa's apartheid regime.
Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.
Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.
A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.
I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.
The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.
The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.
Out of the 12 individuals jailed so far for the Southampton riots, eight have lengthy criminal records, including convictions for domestic abuse, assault, robbery, weapons offences, and grievous bodily harm against an 80-year-old woman.
التغيير في أمريكا كارثي ضد إسرائيل!
مجموعة أمريكان شاهدوا الحاخام الإسرائيلي شلومو المؤيد للجرائم في غزة فقالوا: "فلسطين حرة"، فلحق بهم الحاخام ليرهبهم ويقول: "لا تهربوا، ماذا قلتم؟" فتلقى شتائم ورد صادم!
ردوا عليه: "فلسطين حرة سنقولها دائمًا، تبًا لك، افعل ما تشاء"
