As 5 more Palestine Action activists face the prospect of years in prison and lifetime terrorism restrictions for spraying red paint on a Barclays Bank, the UK state is escalating an unprecedented judicial crackdown.
In this episode of Double Down NewsWatch, host Richard Sanders speaks with Palestine Action Co-Founder Huda Ammori about the “secret legal ambush” taking place in British courtrooms, corporate lobbying by Israel’s largest arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, and the targeting of defence barristers for upholding jury independence.
I don’t like the clickbait titles that DDN use but they do a decent job of reporting on stuff the MSM ignores.
The fact that in the UK you can be found guilty by a jury for vandalism and a judge can then unilaterally promote this to terrorism is chilling. If the Courts and Tribunals Bill passes the jury portion could be skipped altogether.
