Elon Musk is a Terrorist
'Tommy Robinson' is a Terrorist

People trying to stop a Genocide are not Terrorists, and any state which says they are is telling the Public far more than they wanted to.

“Protest that poses no threat to the public simply is not terrorism. These activists may have knowingly risked their freedom in taking action, but they now face the prospect of punishment for crimes they were never convicted of and did not commit. This is an obvious effort to undermine solidarity with Palestine, but what it really undermines is UK law.” - Sally Rooney

Public figures warn against ‘unjust’ terror sentences for Israeli arms site action - Artists for Palestine UK

Sally Rooney, Greta Thunberg, Steve Coogan, and Lord John Hendy KC are among around 100 public figures warning of a miscarriage of justice if four human rights defenders receive unprecedented terrorism sentences for taking action against an Israeli arms manufacturer. In an open letter (published below) signatories urged Judge Jeremy Johnson to drop use of a ‘terrorism connection’ in Friday’s sentencing of Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani – part of a group of activists known as the Filton 25.

"Käyhkö said the trial against the activist is part of an “effort by the British government to broaden and intensify the use of counterterrorism legislation against political movements in recent years, particularly evident in the proscription of Palestine Action.”"

"National charities Mencap, Mind, and the National Autistic Society have reacted with alarm to today’s Supreme Court ruling that removes the framework known as #CheshireWest. They warn that it strips fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people. ...

"The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to _experience_ it—a view that devalues their fundamental rights."

"If a vulnerable person appears passive or does not actively protest their arrangements, the law may recognise this as "consent" — even if they are subjected to routine physical restraint or chemical sedation or have never known a life without a high level of restriction."
