Six British pro-Palestinian activists were acquitted on Wednesday of aggravated burglary relating to a 2024 raid on a factory operated by Israeli defence firm Elbit, with a jury unable to reach verdicts on charges of criminal damage.
Prosecutors said the six defendants, whose trial began in November, were members of the now-banned group Palestine Action, which organised the assault on the Elbit Systems UK facility in Bristol, southwest England, in August last year.
Given this event was one of the supposed major contributors to proscription, does the fact that a jury of the people not wanting to convict them mean the proscription might’ve been a bit overblown?
The proscription was always overblown. Just Kid Starver bending the law for Israel.
Article doesn’t say why they were found not guilty.
Because the jury said so.
Why do you think starmer wants to get rid of jury trials?
Specifically, the jury found that their plea of not guilty was based on the fact that they were preventing a greater harm by their actions to be right
Thanks
