Top Tweets for #SOAS2

Crowds have started to gather outside the Old Bailey this morning in support of both the SOAS 2 and the Filton 25 defendant's who are on trial this week. Sarah from the SOAS 2 is inside where the jury are expected to go out for deliberations today, and hopefully return a verdict of not guilty before the end of the day. Activists have been present all week outside court to support Sarah as the government tries to bring a flimsy prosecution against her for a speech she made at her university in 2023 in which they allege she showed support for a proscribed organisation. The terrorism act is being used as it was always intended - to stifle justified and legitimate criticism that the government finds uncomfortable.
