SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.

Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction.

No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.

This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights.

Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.

UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details.

“If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”
