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.
BREAKING: The Court of Appeal judgment on the legality of the Palestine Action ban, will come out at 11AM on Monday 15th June at the Royal Courts of Justice, London.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has released video footage on social media of himself berating detained activists from the Gaza flotilla. The video has prompted international outrage, while the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Ben Gvir’s actions were ‘not consistent with the values of the State of Israel’
I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla. This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated. We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support. We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.
