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.

    If only this Labour government had half the nous and empathy of this particular jury, Britain would appear a far better place.
