End the misuse of terrorism laws against nonviolent protesters
End the misuse of terrorism laws against nonviolent protesters
Just hours ago, a jury refused to convict nonviolent protesters of a single offence. That verdict matters. It reflects public conscience and shows that justice depends on moral judgment as well as the law.
Yet the government continues to use terrorism legislation against people taking nonviolent action. These powers were never meant to criminalise protest or conscience.
The jury was not convinced. The public are not convinced. The government should now listen.
We call on the government to end the use of terrorism laws against nonviolent protesters and protect the right to protest without fear of extreme punishment.
Add your name.

I am a nonviolent protester currently on bail for taking part in a Defend our Juries Action. I am not a terrorist but I stand against the genocide and terror being carried out by the Israeli Government without my consent and with my complicity. Not in my name!

I have lost complete trust in this government. Trying to bend the rule of law to their own disgraceful ends is a step too far. The weak cowardice on display lose them the next election. The true Labour Party for the people no longer exists.

To accuse peaceful protestors of ‘terrorism’ is just what an autocratic regime would do. We must stop backing Israel unconditionally.
