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."

I don't know how others feel about this, but I am getting extremely ANGRY that the #British #ukgovernment is FLOUTING the rule of law to hide their own #corruption
I am proud of the #nanarchists who have shown themselves to be braver than I am.
I am also totally dissatisfied with British #justice that appears to have been corrupted in the Elbit case.
It appears that evidence was FABRICATED
#starmer should be ASHAMED
The term really took off after 9/11. Had you forgotten Blair? That's when the label "terrorism" became the standard (& invincible) way of criminalising dissent.
As far as I know, the earliest example of this in the UK was about a hundred years earlier, when the government labelled suffragettes as terrorists.
Oh, interesting. And of course many of their actions were "terrorist" in the standard definition of causing terror in the population. Unlike those of Palestine Action....
