Protesters say they have shut down London’s Waterloo station in a protest against the Starmer regime’s plan to sentence anti-genocide protesters as terrorists:

Starmer regime — Rigged system
The jury at the first trial refused to convict any of the six defendants on any of the state’s charges relating to damage to an Israeli-owned weapons factory. This was after police and security guards’ claims didn’t match CCTV evidence. At the retrial, security service-linked judge Jeremy Johnson banned any mention of the fact that the activists carried out their action to prevent the slaughter of Palestinian civilians. He banned lawyers from telling jurors of their legal right to acquit. Johnson even banned the media from reporting that the defendants might be sentenced under terror legislation — despite no terror charges being brought against them.
Despite the attempts to stack the trial in the state’s favour, two of the activists were acquitted on all charges. None were convicted of any violent intent. Yet the government is pressing for terror-related sentencing despite no terror charges ever being brought. This would mean much longer prison time and draconian conditions imposed on the young activists for decades even after release. These could include having to register their phones with the authorities, report on any relationships and obtain permission to travel.
Legal experts have condemned the plan as unconstitutional and a breach of the justice system. Thousands of members of the public have signed a complaint to the government about it. The Starmer regime must not be permitted to destroy UK rights and justice for the sake of Israel.
