UK judge gags Palestine Action defendants to secure ‘terror’ stitch-up

Desperate to secure a conviction of Palestine Action defendants, a draconian British judge has forbidden them from referring to the principle of jury equity in their closing speeches. It is one of countless restrictions aimed at blocking the activists from mounting an effective defense. Since the retrial of six Palestine Action (PA) activists began on April 13, the defendants have been barred under court order from using terms like “genocide” or discussing the target of their direction action protests.

Strangely, suspects arrested in the attacks have been released on bail. A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of Ashab al-Yamin.
