And so why does Labour feel happy about constraining jury trials... well, look what happens when Palestine Action defendants are judged by a ;jury of their peers' - not guilty, or no verdict(s) result.
The joy of the jury system is it can deliver verdicts the state really doesn't want... which is why its valuable, and why Labour is happy to see it constrained (for other reasons).

The UK is letting the Palestine Action prisoners, who are imprisoned for disrupting the arms industry that murders children, to die in their prison cells.
Free the Palestine Action prisoners!
PS. I grew up with Bobby Sands as one of my heroes, I placed a flower on his grave when I was living in Ireland.

ORG spoke out against criminalising free expression under the UK Prevent Duty.
An expanding definition of terrorism threatens racialised communities who are disproportionately targeted by a programme that hides surveillance behind safeguarding.

ORG warned that lawful posts about Palestine could be wrongly removed in light of the ban on Palestine Action and overly broad definitions of terrorism.
The UK Online Safety Act must not be a vehicle to suppress political protest.

Political protest came under attack during 2025 🤐
ORG raised the alarm that platforms could be pushed to suppress critical voices, journalism and social movements according to their duty to remove 'illegal' content under the UK Online Safety Act.

So Greta Thunberg has been arrested in London for holding a placard that said:
'I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide.'
It will be interesting to see if Thunberg's case gets to court because its far from clear that this specific wording articulates support for a proscribed organisation...it may well be a case of [edit] City of London Police over-reach!
In any case its another arrest of a peaceful protestor..
