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.

This is not acceptable in a supposed democracy.

What part of honesty is it to use terrorism laws against nonviolent protesters, denying free speach and the right to peaceful protest?
-
People were not killed or maimed so terrorism legislation laws were not breached, as the Jury pointed out by their verdits

This is the slippery slope..

If the government thinks, as it has claimed, that they know things about such non-violent groups that we, the general public, do not know then they are morally bound to tell us what they know (and it better be good) before they start arresting and charging innocent protestors.
I call upon the government to release and pardon all those recently arrested in their defence of non-violent campaigning groups. -

Non-violent protests are an essential part of our democracy and must be free from prosecution, even if Government finds it uncomfortable.
