The #WholeTruthFive — including my friend Larch — are now part of #TheLordWalney16.
Sixteen people imprisoned for a combined 41 years after Lord Walney, arms and oil lobbyist, called for those resisting genocide—whether from carbon emissions or Israeli bombs—to face the harshest possible response.
Their appeals will be heard at London's Royal Courts of Justice on Weds 29th and Thurs 30th January. Please join the solidarity rally outside court:

Five years for trying to protect the earth. Yet rapists, racists and other violent criminals get what? Suspended sentences, community service, maybe a year if they're unlucky.

Prof. Niko Froitzheim, professor of Earth Science at the University of Bonn, Germany, shares highlights of the whole truth that UK courts refused to listen in the trial against the #WholeTruthFive. Our world is burning, and our governments are putting us in danger: it is time to act.

Dr. Laura Horn, political economist at the University of Rotskilde in Denmark, supports the #WholeTruthFive as well. Our societies are drenched in fossil fuel, we need radical change and we support radical non violent action to achieve this!

@ScientistRebellion @wolfgangcramer #freeTheWholeTruthFive The #wholeTruthFive are political prisoners and must be freed!
Civil disobedience is the foundation of democracy. We all know how easily politicians renege on their promises when it's time to deliver something that is necessary but politically inconvenient. It's a problem you can't solve by voting.
When civil disobedience is criminalized, and the courts serve the rich, protesters turn into revolutionaries!

Professor Dr @wolfgangcramer , environmental geographer and global ecologist, is research director (CNRS) at the Mediterranean Institute for Biodiversity and Ecology (IMBE) and a contributor in many roles to the IPCC, including Lead Author for the 6th Assesment Report. He is "appalled by the decision of a UK court to jail" the #WholeTruthFive, completely ignoring the urgency of the climate collapse we are witnessing.

Pleased to be a signatory on this excellent letter to #TheTimes regarding the 4-5 YEAR sentences handed down for (in one case) being on a Zoom call to discuss peaceful environmental protest.
There's a reason the #UnitedNations human rights commissioner described the #WholeTruthFive sentences as “deeply troubling”...

@StingrayBadger In case you weren’t aware, there’s a JSO petition on this - https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-prison-for-protest?source=email&& #wholetruthfive

#ChrisPackam and #DaleVince right to say
"Complete madness. It is a disgrace and a stain on our country that our courts have been co-opted to do the fossil fuel industry’s dirty work."
about the #WholeTruthFive & many nonviolent protestors who have been jailed in the UK recently"These protesters are shouting ‘fire’ while the world burns. A society that locks them up cannot be called democratic"

Here is Part 3 of the statement posted yesterday by Roger Hallam…
🧵3/4
_______________________The judge began the next morning by bizarrely reading out my Twitter feed, which alerted my followers to the fact I wasn’t allowed to give my whole defence and called for support for a presence outside the court. But then he moved on to gleefully recounting some of the various trolls – why this was any part of a serious trial, no one could fathom. I was ordered to take them down by lunchtime or I’d be in contempt of court. This is a British judge in 2024.
Meanwhile, the UN special rapporteur for Environmental Defenders, Michel Forst sat in the gallery, watching. He had previously put out a statement on the injustice of our treatment. It states that the UK could be breaking international law on the rights of environmental protesters. A repressed, UN phrase for trying to stop the carbon elite from killing us all.
I stood up and told the jury that after they’d been ejected yesterday, I had been arrested and removed, but that they had a right to hear my evidence. Once again, the judge ordered the jury and forcibly removed me. The UN guy watched as I was dragged away. I was sent to prison and couldn’t hear the rest of the day’s trial.
Afterwards, the judge falsely claimed that I was behind the jury protection campaign, Defend Our Juries, and had ‘conned’ vulnerable people into coming to the court. No evidence was given. Fair, right?
The next day I again explained that blocking motorways has direct effects on society e.g. the farmers’ protests quickly changed EU policy, and road protests held fuel prices down. The judge dismissed this by asking whether the action had any effect on global temperatures and told me to sit down. I stayed standing and the judge just left the courtroom. What the fuck? I even looked to the prosecution for help again against the judge’s incoherent madness.
When he came back, he started quoting his favourite movie, Goodfellas, and asked me “What are you still doing here?”. Then he ordered me arrested and sent to prison, again.
Whilst I was jailed, the judge gave my friends a pathetic 15 minutes each to defend themselves. When they also spoke of the necessity for action against mass death from carbon emissions, the judge ordered them all to be arrested. After this gagging, people began to call us the #WholeTruthFive.
Finally, we came to the prosecution's closing statement, where, I kid you not, they argued that the jury must take direction from the judge, that the rule of law keeps our society free from collapse, and that climate change is irrelevant. I, of course, was dismissed as someone who “waffles about the cause”. Not a cofounder of the most influential climate movements in the world and academic on social change. Show trials are about lies, remember?
In response I gave my final statement, from behind the glass panel of the dock, reminding jurors they must be sure, not almost sure or on the verge of being sure, and that they must consider ALL the evidence and make a decision that they have actually been given all the evidence. I reminded them of the placard in the Old Bailey that confirms they can acquit based on their conscience without having to give an explanation and without any legal repercussions.
There are two elements to the indictment - conspiracy and disruption. The prosecution had presented what they say is ‘powerful evidence’ of involvement in the plan, but this is not the same as ‘conclusive evidence’. I was there to make arguments for action, and not directly involved in actual planning.

“‘We died for lies, for centuries we died for lies.’ He waved a hand towards the god. ‘Now we’ve got a truth to die for!’
‘No. Men should die for lies. But the truth is too precious to die for.'”

Citizens must act, if the State won't listen to the science. Defence of necessity disallowed even while 'facts not in dispute' illustrate actions in question were not carried out in the context of a functioning state

"Schockierend unverhältnismäßiges Urteil" - Michel Forst, UN
Wer darüber nicht entsetzt ist, hat noch nicht verstanden, dass er genauso behandelt werden wird, wenn er versucht friedlich für seine Rechte zu protestieren.
Die Klimakrise wird an keinem von uns vorbei gehen.
Wir müssen uns zusammentun und gemeinsam für unsere Zukunft einstehen. Kein Staat und kein Gericht kann uns das verbieten.
