Jurors have a right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience, irrespective of a Judge’s directions. Every defendant deserves access to fair justice.

This brave woman was arrested under the UK Terrorism Act on Saturday for holding a cardboard sign. “Palestine Action should never have been proscribed. The courts have ruled that they shouldn’t have been proscribed… this is political and this is about continuing the genocide.”

Your government has enabled this, while you voted to proscribe those who opposed it in the UK as “terrorists”. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action. Drop the unlawful ‘terror’ charges. End UK complicity in Israel’s genocide.

Horrific. Israel as a nation has observer status at the council of Europe which calls on all participants to reject the death penalty. Measures like this surely must put that in question.

Israel is brazenly granting itself carte blanche to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards. The new law dismantles fundamental safeguards to prevent the arbitrary deprivation of life and protect the right to a fair trial. It further empowers Israel’s system of apartheid, which is maintained by scores of discriminatory laws against Palestinians. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.

These utter sociopaths popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate the passing of a death penalty law for Palestinian detainees that will effectively legalise the ethnic cleansing they were already doing. It’s a genocide. Join us on April 11th to oppose it EveryoneDay.uk

The arrest of Qesser Zuhrah is seriously dystopian. The British state proscribed Palestine Action by saying the group had caused serious property damage to Israeli arms factories, falling under the definition of terrorism. They're trying to classify direct action as terrorism🧵

Last week, Qesser Zuhrah gave her first testimony after being released from prison. On the same day, the former hunger strikers announced they'll be taking legal action over their mistreatment in prison. Now, she's been rearrested for a social media post. This is sadistic.
The Aftershock@The_Aftershock_

Qesser Zuhrah detailed the violence she faced in prison prior to her hunger strike, at a press conference last week. She was on remand for 15 months without convictions, and today, she was arrested again for a social media post.

The ban on Palestine Action is unlawful, according to the High Court. It must be defied in order to be dropped. Everyone counts. Sign up to peacefully hold a sign in defiance alongside huge numbers of others, on April 11th: EveryoneDay.uk Everyone counts.

“You guys look like gangsters. Are you gang members or are you officers of the law?” Police covered their faces as they re-arrested Palestine Action-linked activist Qesser Zuhrah early on Monday morning before taking her to a police station in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Zuhrah is facing trial for allegedly taking part in a 2024 break-in at a facility near Bristol owned by Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems. She was granted bail last month after spending 15 months in prison awaiting her trial, which is due to begin in April. In December last year, she ended a 48-day hunger strike, which she took part in along with seven other Palestine Action-linked prisoners. One of their key demands was to be granted bail.
