Climate activist jailed for eight weeks for contempt of court, because he refused to apologize for saying the reason they were demonstrating, the climate, during the trial.
They were forbidden from mentioning climate during the trial for demonstrating.
HOLY SHIT, BRITAIN IS A FAILED STATE
@kevinrns "interesting" logic from the judge here. If I'm interpreting correctly their reasoning was that it isn't the place of the court to decide if the action was justified or not, only if I was a crime.
This possibly links back to the idea a jury can chose to find someone not guilty even if they believe they are guilty, I believe called jury nullification? So they may have decided non-guilty from an ethical view not a criminal view.
Note I'm not a lawyer so blah blah blah.
