Desperate to secure a conviction of Palestine Action defendants, a draconian British judge has forbidden them from referring to the principle of jury equity in their closing speeches.
It is one of countless restrictions aimed at blocking the activists from mounting an effective defense. This Substack is reader-supported.

A courageous intervention by MP Zarah Sultana brings our reporting to the British public

Reading at times from The Grayzone’s report, Sultana stated the following: - “Six Palestine action activists face retrial after being acquitted in February following a year in prison. If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told…Open

Those officials admitted the group’s activities were “mostly confined to criminal damage,” not terrorism. - By falsely alleging Palestine Action deliberately targeted people with violent acts,…Open
