For the first time in British history, a judge is seeking to sentence protesters
as terrorists despite the jury convicting them only on criminal damage charges.

🧵

--------------------------------------------------

What "terrorist connection"? There isn't one.

Not one of the 24 defendants has a terrorism charge, let alone conviction. Their
action took place a year prior to the proscribing of Palestine Action.

The ban on Palestine Action was ruled unlawful by the High Court in February.

--------------------------------------------------

Mr Justice Johnson ordered reporting restrictions over the case during the
trial. Today, a week after the trial ended, he lifted restrictions.

They will be sentenced as terrorists.

Two separate juries in two separate trials did not convict them on any charge of
violent intent.

--------------------------------------------------

These facts were not only hidden from the public, they were hidden from the jury
in the trial, too!

•No defences permitted
•Defendants could not mention motives, Israel, weapons, Elbit, genocide, Jury
Equity, etc
•Conviction would secretly lead to "terrorism" sentencing

--------------------------------------------------

The first time that any person convicted of an offence for protest will be
sentenced as a terrorist.

•Aggravated sentences
•Serve full sentence or 'reform' & rescind 'beliefs'
•No parole until they've served at least 2/3rd sentence
•License for up to 15 years.

--------------------------------------------------

Justice: flipped on its head.

In a normal trial, a conscientious motive such as acting to stop a genocide
would be a mitigating factor.

In This trial the moral intentions of the defendants is being used as an
aggravating factor.

This is not justice. It's a stitch-up.

--------------------------------------------------

Rogue judges are attempting to remove conscience from our courts, even blocking
jurors from their lawful rights.

The Labour govt. is attempting to heavily restrict jury trials in England &
Wales, preventing access to fair justice.

The attack on juries is an attack on everyone. Any one of us could one day
stand accused of a crime. It is essential that everybody has the opportunity to
defend themselves in court.
