A British judge has sentenced four Palestine Action protesters as terrorists, handing them custodial sentences ranging from four to eight years.
The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during the prosecution.
On Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, added a “terrorism connection” to their offences.
In a preliminary ruling in March 2025, Johnson found an “appearance” of a terrorism connection in the case, as he said the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons. This information was withheld from the jury who convicted them.

If you do anything to oppose genocide you’re a terrorist. If you support genocide the red carpet is rolled out for you in the West.
So i can’t use hammer to brutally beat police officer ? Facism has good day ahead
disarming israel is terrorism? yayyy were all terrorists because that term means nothing now
How does wanting to disarm a foreign government terrorism?? By that logic the entirety of the UK government is a bunch of terrorists for wanting to disarm uh Russia and Iran I assume?
UK has stopped making sense a long time ago
The “last minute evidence” was probably pics of the judge with an underage girl sourced from MI5/CIA/Mossad assets.
Such a standard to be met:
He added that those convicted acted “for the purpose of advancing a political and/or ideological cause”.
Guess the legal system has no standards.
I thought the standard was " the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons."?
The only terrorist I see is the judge. They should be extradited to Hamas for trial.
Fucking Mosley must be laughing right now from hell.

Why would he? Was he Palestinian advocate?
No because fascism is manifesting heavily long after he’s dead.
I know that image from The Wall movie, but I guess it’s also its own piece given the signature. That watercolor sky is absolutely beautiful.
Looks like sugar water painting.
Didn’t know that was a thing. Very cool.
I’m working through a book on sculpting while learning Blender. It’s been surprisingly difficult to get the proportions correct when I print the studies.
“Unprecedented”?
The English courts have been sentencing civilians as terrorists for centuries.
The difference is that none of the charges are commonly associated with terrorism. The judge had to invent a “terrorism connection” in addition to the normal charges.
He didn’t invent it, it was mentioned in the original JTAC assessment of Palestine Action.

Rule Of Law my ass!
Rule of Israel
Speaking ill of israel is a greater act of terrorism than crashing planes into buildings.
Looks like they are one step behind the US and catching up fast.
In terms of personal rights suppression, the UK is already miles ahead.
Britain should just follow Doggerland’s example. Aside from spotted dick, nothing of value would be lost.
/s.
If spray painting a plane is the exact same as blowing it up then might as well blow it up.
Adding an offence later in the case and withholding information to a jury has to be grounds a mistrial.
They didn’t add an offence, they added an aggravating factor.
Zionism overrules all other laws, it would seem.
the UK is officially a shithole country now
UK gov: goes out of its way to make the place a shithole
also UK gov: “Why don’t people consider it worthwhile to reproduce anymore?”
Fascism has been achieved
Now?
They’re putting the finishing touches on, been degrading for decades, ever since the focus of total control and surveillence shifted to them as a testbed.
