Outside court over 100 lovely people are simply holding signs, as the Met Police stand by awaiting a decision before making arrests. On Friday over 100 people holding the same sign were arrested. This is the nonsense the Home Office ban has created!

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case. It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them. Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future. The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end. Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest. Read our position: Criminal Damage, Direct Action, Terrorism: Misuse of counter-terrorism powers in the UK: amn.st/6015B87ZCx

A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage. This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.
BREAKING: Judge Johnson has confirmed the Filton Four will be sentenced based on a 'terrorist connection'. This heart breaking news comes despite the protestors never being charged or convicted of terror offences or violent intent.

Same sit, different day! Arrested under terrorism charges for holding a sign saying “Saving Lives Is Not Terrorism - I support Palestine Action” despite the Government's ban being found unlawful by the High Court. "How ridiculous!" Support at: defendourjuries.net/savingli…

As we reported last month, the jury in the retrial of the Filton 6 delivered a bizarre verdict, singling out Jordan Devlin and Zoe Rogers for acquittal while finding the other four guilty of criminal damage. The verdict was unusual because all six admitted they had committed criminal damage and gave similar reasons for doing so. Real Media spoke to the two activists who were acquitted by the jury while their four friends and fellow activists face sentencing with a terrorism connection. We also speak to the mother of one of the four, who questions a justice system that allows this.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children. Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

The Filton 25 Trial represents a turning point for the rule of law and against necrocapitalism. ELBIT is involved in the commission of heinous crimes in Palestine (see my report Economy of Genocide). It is also one of the most exportable tools of Israel's model of democracy.
The Filton 25 are a group of direct actionists who targeted Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, to stop the genocide in Gaza. They were all acquitted of the most serious charge of aggravated burglary and were released from prison. However, following the retrial of the first 6, four of them were remanded back into prison and are now facing sentencing on 12th of June with a possible terrorism connection. This is the first time in UK history that pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism. 📅 12th June 📍 Woolwich Crown Court ⏰ 10am–5pm Join the mobilisation and show that direct action is not terrorism. Write to court and demand that Judge Jeremy Johnson be removed from the case. cage.ngo/campaigns/filton25

"We want to see it shut down" Action takers from People Against Genocide are blocking both gates to an Israeli drone factory in Staffordshire, forcing it shut. Two are locked on to each other through a vehicle, in order to reinforce the blockade.

For the first time in British history, protestors could be sentenced as terrorists. Through political manipulation terrorism laws are being used to sentence activists convicted of criminal damage undertaken as protest. Mobilise on June 12th at Woolwich Crown Court. 10am - 4pm

New breed of political prisoner arises in Britain as anti-protest sentences rise “there is something going on which is profoundly political. Very often those protesters are reflecting majority rather than a minority view.” theguardian.com/law/2026/may…

Let this sink in for a moment: UK judiciary is so desperate to convict, you can face a terrorism sentence without EVER being accused of terrorism by a police officer, or a jury in a trial ever knowing about it. That's what's at stake. Secret prosecutions. Decided by judges.
Replying to @DefendOurJuries
This is even more sinister than the unlawful proscription of Palestine Action because it leaves judges free to sentence people of conscience as terrorists without: - Connection to any group - Terrorism charge - Terrorism conviction - Jurors knowing the outcome of their verdict.

israeli violence against volunteers who sailed with compassion and love in their hearts. With hands in the air, participants implored ‘do not shoot’. This is an attack on Gaza. This is an attack on humanity. This is what apartheid looks like: when those trying to save lives are met with bullets. When aid is blocked with brutality. When international law is made a mockery. israel openly bragged that they would target based on race. We cannot stand by while this is normalized. Repost. Contact Government officials. Rise up. gsumud.link/demand *as far as we know no one has been seriously hurt - updates to come
