#CraigMurray | Sentencing the Innocent
"Judge Johnson had proved his fascist credentials through rulings much earlier in the Filton trial than his vicious sentencing. Indeed, he had arguably already shown them when he released Tommy Robinson from a prison sentence, or when as a barrister he had chosen to work for the intelligence services and Ministry of Defence."

‘[therefore] the court should not allow the crown to use [section 69] as a vehicle for enhancing sentence in circumstances where it has determined that a conviction for the same offence by the jury is unlikely”.’
The #Labour government decided a jury was unlikely to convict the #filton4 of terrorism, so it allowed them to think they were just being tried for criminal damage…then it allowed the judge to sentence them based on it being terrorism.
The justice system is imploding.

What element of how the #filton4 were tried makes you think we don’t live under a rightwing authoritarian regime?
‘The activists were acquitted of aggravated burglary at an initial trial in February, by which point they had already spent 18 months in prison on remand, having been found guilty of no crime.
At a retrial in May, a jury convicted the activists of criminal damage, with no knowledge that a terror connection would later be applied by a judge at sentencing.’

Shocking! An absolute travesty!

@UKLabour“Four Palestine Action activists have been sentenced to a combined total of more than 25 years in prison, after a judge ruled that they could be treated as terrorists.
Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani were convicted of criminal damage last month in relation to a raid against an Israeli arms factory in Bristol in 2024.
At their sentencing hearing at Woolwich Crown Court today, Judge Johnson agreed to apply a ‘terrorism connection’ to the case under the Sentencing Act”

"they had taken the law into their own hands"
As each of us is obligated to do when our ethical and moral duty to stop a genocide comes into conflict with written law.
"They told me to" is not an adequate defence at a genocide trial.
"They told me not to" does not remove obligations to stop a genocide.
Starmer and Johnson have ignored their obligations to stop a genocide and are trying to normalise their abject failures.

There are Britons living in the UK at this moment who have served in the Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza. They are not facing investigation nor prosecution.
But these activists who smashed up a factory that makes Israeli drones have been sentenced as terrorists although they have not been convicted of any crime of terrorism. The judge just gets to throw on the additional time, parole requirements and lifelong record as "convicted terrorist" because he felt like it.
The jury were never told this could happen. The press were forbidden to publish it until after the conviction. British justice is an oxymoron.

@IrelandAgainstFascism @DoubleDownNews @thecanaryuk @jeremycorbyn @JohnMcDonnellMP @thegreenparty“Activists have been detained for months without trial and declared terrorists. On Friday, four will be sentenced under egregious circumstances. We should be more alarmed that Palestine and climate campaigners are being treated like this in a social democracy, writes the author and columnist”

@iran“Judge Johnson so rigged the trial of anti-genocide activists that 1000s of legal professionals have urged him to step down from the sentencing hearing. But Johnson's dirty work is not yet complete”
