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.

Protests are damned inconvenient, but governments are the servant of the people. When they stop listening they have failed and broken their pact with us -
Wonderful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Have already written to both my local paper (three times) and to my local MP on this one. Glad to hear at last that my small efforts were not needed and a proper result achieved. I totally agree also on the need for Jury trials in these matters and reject completely Deputy PM David Lammy’s attempts to scrap them in favour of trials by Government appointed judges alone

Just read about the Finton 24 Jury verdict. I am so pleased that a jury has supported the right to protest against evil. Our governments’ should stop trying and silence uncomfortable truths and wake up to the fact that the silent majority do not support their draconian policies.
