  1. "During our retrial earlier this year, further restrictions were placed on the scope of evidence. The jury was told that in that courtroom, Justice Johnson was the law – and in a courtroom, the law is tantamount to God.

    We were found guilty of criminal damage. We had never been charged with terrorism, yet Judge Johnson sentenced us as terrorists on 12 June. I am serving six years in prison and will face a further 15 years on notification once I am released, during which time I will have to regularly check in with the authorities, and will have to register any new device, bank account, telephone number, email address, vehicle, relationship and overseas travel plans with the police for the rest of their lives.

    The UK abolished the divine right of kings long ago; but it is alive and kicking in our legal system. The privileged few in the upper echelons are permitted to bend the law to breaking point to further the government’s political agenda. The same people are trying to rob the British public of the right to a jury of their peers by blaming jury trials for our backlogged court systems. It is not juries that are the problem; it is our courts that are beleaguered by pressure from those in Parliament, the intelligence services and the police.

    The Home Office has interfered with our case again and again in a bid to shore up its proscription of Palestine Action by using us as political scapegoats. Yet, for his work in defending me, my barrister may be disbarred and potentially face prison time himself."

  3. @autonomousapps @kim_harding Exactly Kafka. It's bureaucracy that does this because that's how it's designed to operate. It's senseless. Her barrister caught the attention of the bureaucracy, so now he/she pays the price:

    "The best one could hope for would be to achieve something for future cases, but that would be at the expense of doing oneself immeasurable harm through attracting the attention of a bureaucracy which was always vengeful. Just never attract attention!"-Kafka.

  5. The #UK – the colonial cradle of the #USA's legal system – still lives by a divine‑right ethos: politicians break rules with impunity while a barrister faces prison for invoking centuries‑old juror rights. The state brands activists as terrorists to mute #Palestinian resistance, and the same courts that conceal Israel’s genocide in #Gaza now punish anyone who tells the truth.

  7. "New PM Andy Burnham will be challenged on Thursday to drop the Government’s efforts to keep the ban on Palestine Action which has so far seen thousands arrested "

    but sadly the website is giving me "429 Too Many Requests"

    Just a coincidence, right?

    “The [UK] Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) wants to sentence five more Palestine activists as terrorists for committing criminal damage, it can be revealed.

    Brendon O’Hagan, Amanda Kelly, Hmeera Atiqnisar, Mohammed Malik, and Alma Yaniv were convicted of criminal damage last month for a protest at a Barclays bank branch in Burnley in 2024.

    It was carried out in the name of Palestine Action almost a year before the group was banned under terrorism laws.”

  11. English judges are making it up as they go along.

    ‘After last month’s verdicts the judge, Philip Parry, told the prosecution and the defence he intended to consider a “terrorist connection” to the offending, despite neither the jury nor the defendants having previously been informed of the possibility.’

  13. Five #PalestineAction activists betwen 28 and 70 face being sentenced as terrorists for breaking windows and throwing red paint at a branch of Barclays Bank in Lancashire.
    They targeted the bank because it held shares in the Israeli weapons firm #Elbit Systems.

  14. Having succeeded in getting protestors to be sentenced under terrorism guidance having only been convicted of criminal damage once, prosecutors are trying to pull this off for a second time - this time for five (more) Palestine Action protestors who vandalised a Barclays Bank branch & were convicted of criminal damage.

    The Rule of Law in the UK is being dismantled through the manipulation of sentencing rules.

    Andy Burnham needs to stop this, now!

    You can send a letter to the Ulm5 prisoners who are on trial for their action against the Israeli war crimes industry Elbit Systems in Germany:

    ulm5.info/en/mailbox/about

    They have even set up an option to write messages online. But please make sure to read their individual stories: Better pick one or two persons you can relate with and take your time to write something meaningful than to write something generic to all five.

  20. "Extreme Unionism and Res Judicata"
    by Craig Murray
    "Unsurprisingly, today at the Court of Session Lord Young refused to lift his suspension or “sist” of the Scottish judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action. He did however grant us leave to appeal against this decision.

    What was surprising was an extreme extension of the UK government’s argument."

    Hey, if you need to free up some space in Prison without letting some real dangers out....how about some Political Prisoners who pointed out a Genocide and got called 'terrorists' for their effort?

  30. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/j. Rajiv Menon KC is being prosecuted for doing his job, & that is a disastrous day for #justice in our country. #Elbit #Systems WERE being "protected" & "wined & dined in the corridors of power" - that is a FACT. Menon is being penalised for drawing attention to that very uncomfortable #truth about how our #Government is supporting #Israeli #genocide, which is precisely what #PalestineAction are protesting about!

  32. “The prosecution of a leading human rights barrister for contempt of court over his closing speech during a trial of Palestine Action activists has left lawyers fearful of doing their job, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association has said.” The march towards fascism is seemingly spearheaded by Israel. #Israel #Fascism #PalestineAction
