Ah. I'm so angry about this.

After being acquitted or no verdict reached on all counts at the first trial, obviously the government couldn't have that, so this is the retrial.

In this trial the Judge didn't allow the defendants to explain why they had taken the action, to talk about Genocide, or Elbit, nada. The court also wouldn't accept basic things as facts for the jury, like "Elbit systems manufactures parts for drones used by the IDF in Gaza despite clear evidence. Honestly, I don't even know what else they weren't allowed to say, or what evidence they weren't allowed to use, because even the two who were acquited are still not allowed to talk about it.

And, for the best bit of our justice system, despite not being charged with or tried on terrorism offences, the Judge is likely to sentence the 4 as 'terrorists', they've been told a custodial sentence is inevitable, and the jury was not allowed any of your information either.

And no reporting was allowed on any of this. At least Sam was convicted of GBH without intent.

While the edited video of the "Attack on Female Police Officer" is real easy to find even though it was published before the first trial in contempt of court that didn't matter, for some reason the footage of the civilian security guard attacking the activists with a sledgehammer and whip wasn't also published.

Plus, one of the other Palestine Action political prisoners, Umer Khalid, has muscular dystrophy. He's been in HMP Wormwood Scrubs for 10 months, receiving little to no care, and he's lost the ability to walk . He has to drag himself, crawling, to the toilet, because the prison won't provide him with a wheelchair. They've also stopped providing him pain killers. Despite this, his bail application on medical grounds was denied on April 21st, the Judge ruled that HMP Wormwood Scrubs can manage his condition.

Yeah. Yeah. Nothing to see here.
