Make it drop

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Judge Jeremy Johnson who has been paid to represent the interests of MI6 & the MoD will decide whether to sentence the Filton 4 according to Terrorist legislation rather than for the criminal damage they have been convicted. If this happens it will raise serious concerns that the judiciary & legal system are rigged

[Clare Hinchcliffe @Subversivite]

This is the clearest explanation & analysis of what is happening in my daughter's (Filton 25) case I have ever read. Thank you @Jonathan_K_Cook

PLEASE read this to understand the tidal wave of injustice these young prisoners of conscience are facing

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

The celebrities published an open letter calling on Judge Jeremy Johnson to drop the use of a “terrorism connection” in the sentencing of the activists set to take place on Friday.

Sentencing with a terrorism connection could mean the defendants face aggravated sentences. Most of them have already served 18 months on remand

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

Celebrities including Sally Rooney, Greta Thunberg and Steve Coogan have joined more than 100 public figures in signing an open letter against unjust terror sentences for Palestine Action activists.

Protesters Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani broke into an arms factory owned by Israel’s Elbit Systems in Filton, near Bristol, in 2024 and damaged equipment.

A previous trial ended with the jury finding six defendants not guilty of aggravated burglary, and with partial or no verdicts on charges of criminal damage and violent disorder.

The Crown Prosecution Service sought a retrial on those charges, with four of the activists found guilty of criminal damage on 5 May.

The four were told they risked extended prison sentences under terror provisions despite not being charged with such offences.

In an open letter signatories urged Judge Jeremy Johnson to drop the “unjust and cruel” use of a ‘terrorism connection’ in Friday’s sentencing.

“To bypass the jury and sentence a group of protesters as terrorists would constitute an extremely grave miscarriage of justice, with consequences far beyond this case alone,” the letter said.

“Never before has a link to terrorism been imposed at the sentencing stage in a criminal damage case. The implications for civil liberties in Britain are difficult to overstate.”

Other signatories include filmmakers Yorgos Lanthimos, Terry Gilliam and Ken Loach, and actors Zoë Wanamaker, Brian Cox, Miriam Margolyes and Zawe Ashton.

Support also comes from musicians Charlotte Church and Kate Nash, Labour MP John McDonnell and economist Yanis Varoufakis.

“The only stated basis for this connection is that the defendants were ‘attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons’,” the letter says.

“This is an obvious effort to undermine solidarity with Palestine, but what it really undermines is UK law.”

A consensus of legal experts agree that Israeli’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, as does the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry.

International law prohibits arms exports to any nation committing genocide or other atrocity crimes, so the activists “may well have saved lives” by entering the Elbit facility and dismantling weapons, the letter says.

Sentencing Palestine Action protesters as terrorists would be ‘constitutional threat’, says lawyer

Judge will decide whether four’s acts had link to terrorism, despite jury not convicting them of terrorism offence

The drones destroyed by my daughter & others in Elbit's Filton factory in Bristol are designed to do exactly this. This is what the UK government is using counter terror powers to protect 👇

Fr in 2026 Britain these women would be tasered and arrested under terrorism act. Happy pride month

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

In this clip from 2000, The London Lesbian Avengers stopped the number 15 bus in London's Piccadilly Circus and painted it pink.

They were demanding the repeal of Section 28, and were protesting the involvement of Brian Souter, the owner of Stagecoach buses, who donated towards Section 28.

Seven women were arrested and 5 were sentenced to community service and 2000 pounds of criminal damage.

[YBT @yuliatrot]

@PinkNews In 2026 they would be sentenced as terrorists for attempting to influence the government by causing serious property damage 🙄

“Any fair minded observer would not consider a possibility of bias. I therefore refuse to recuse myself…”, he stated.

5,116 people publicly disagreed, signing a letter of complaint.

[CAGE International @CAGEintl]

Judge Johnson’s recusal hearing is on Monday 8th June!

Write to Judge Johnson demanding that he recuse himself from sentencing 4 defendants from the Filton25 case.

On 12 June 2026, four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol. The factory makes drones that are sent to Israel to be used to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

Throughout Filton case, Judge Johnson weaponised contempt of court against the defendants resulting in a swayed jury.

Against CPS recommendation, he arbitrarily remanded 4 of the activists into custody despite them spending 18 months in prison.

He cannot be allowed to oversee their sentencing.

Demand Judge Johnson’s immediate recusal by emailing him at the Woolwich Crown Court.
