Peace activists in the UK have been sentenced as terrorists. They were not charged or tried with terrorist offences and the jury was not informed that the defendants could be sentenced under terrorism laws. The judge ruled there was a ‘terrorism connection’

BREAKING: Judge Johnson has confirmed the Filton Four will be sentenced based on a 'terrorist connection'.

This heart breaking news comes despite the protestors never being charged or convicted of terror offences or violent intent.

Britain leads the world in cracking down on #climate activism. Research shows UK Police arrest environmental & climate protesters at three times the average global rate.
Ask yourself, who are the real criminals?

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”

Today nonviolent civil disobedience movements in the UK would definitely appear to be in stage 3 - the fight - as they face a torrent of repressive legislation.

Britain’s crackdown on climate protest sets “a dangerous precedent” around the world and undermines democratic rights. The govt stands accused of “dangerous hypocrisy” over its claims to be committed to human rights and international law. #DefendTheRightToProtest
