A retrial of Palestine Action activists (acquitted of burglery charges in Feb) is on bogus "terrorism” charges.

"This is what a stitch-up looks like," says UK MP Zarah Sultana.

She "invoked parliamentary privilege to reveal [what] the British public was officially forbidden from knowing."

Reportedly, the jury will not be told that "if convicted, they & 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists."

@DrALJONES Wait, how can you be charged for things you have already been acquitted of? Shouldn't that be impossible?

@heinragas I believe they're being tried on different charges. I think in the original trial there were also charges on which the jury was unable to reach a verdict, which are also applicable for retrial

@krans

Yes, terrorism charges.

I think I read that, at the time of the break-in, the desired laws weren't yet in place. Don't quote me.
