🚨 In more than 25 years of working on terrorism cases, I never thought I would see terrorism legislation used in a way that blurs the line between genuine national security concerns and the policing of political expression and protest.
The sentencing of the Filton 4 raises profound questions about the direction of our justice system. Counter-terrorism laws exist to protect the public from serious threats, not to chill political dissent, including direct action protest.
If we are not careful, we risk setting a dangerous precedent, one that many will view as driven not by principle, but by a desire to shield Israel from criticism.
I strongly oppose what happened in this case today.
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.
Destroying private 'israeli' weapons used in a genocide gets you a longer sentence than child grooming in occupied Britain.
For the first time, activists are sentenced as 'terrorists' for property damage.
This will go down as one of the most unjust cases in British history.
Pakistan makes the world's clothes. The brand is never ours.
Rastah changed that. Bieber. Chalamet. London Fashion Week. All from Lahore.
Sat with Zain Ahmed (@zainoo_95) to understand how. The pricing strategy. The inventory disasters. The community that defended the brand and the future of celebrity endorsement.
Full episode out now.
You think there’s a ceasefire in Gaza? This is one of many scenes of horror from today. An 8-year-old with a gunshot wound to the head.
Israeli forces routinely shoot children in the head.
Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.
Every. Single. One.
All journalists.
Targeted and assassinated intentionally.
For reporting the truth from the frontlines.
"Baba, I am invited to @PiersUncensored against someone who says nasty, hateful lies about Islam. What do you advise?"
@Malhachimi: "Son, don't just say the facts. Print them on paper and hold them up for everyone to see. Obliterate the lies with the clear, plain truth"
"Ok"
“I received direct threats targeting me on my phone from the Mossad, from the Israelis, and they threatened to kill me.”
Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil speaking before she was killed by Israel.
Before Amal Khalil was killed she was threatened via WhatsApp by an Israeli who has identified himself to other journalists as Gideon Gal Ben Avraham.
Here, he justifies the killing of journalists in voice notes.
This child was killed today after being run over by a vehicle which was part of Israeli minister Ben-Gvir’s security convoy.
His name was Mohammad Majdi Al-Jaabari.
I’m receiving a number of press inquiries to defend myself against the “antisemite” smear. I’m not doing any of those.
Anyone who defends a state or its ideology that has enabled its soldiers to gleefully snipe dead thousands of Palestinian children or gang rape Palestinian prisoners to death ALL ON CAMERA should be on trial, not me or anyone who dares speak out. Those who defend this genocide and occupation are worse than the apologists of any monstrous regime or actor in history because these crimes have been filmed for the world to see, and are well documented by every human rights organization in the world. Call me what you want. My family and people’s blood is on your hands, and your tongues will one day testify against you.
It’s estimated that 10,000 people in the UK have stocks and shares Isas that have exceeded £1mn. Claer Barrett explains what made this possible. https://t.co/VcKoM9m9fR
