Corbyn: Filton activists must not be sentenced as terrorists

Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has told the Canary that the Filton 24 activists convicted of criminal damage must not be sentenced as terrorists.

The jury had refused at the first trial to convict them on any of the state’s charges relating to damage to an Israeli-owned weapons factory, 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 also banned even the media…

Ex-Your Party activists form new Socialist Federation

Basque police brutally beat Palestine activists after they return from Israeli prison

It might have looked like a scene from a prison in so-called ‘Israel’, but the appalling scenes actually unfolded at Bilbao airport. It wasn’t Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) beating peaceful Basque activists, but rather their own police force, the Ertzaintza, who smashed them with batons as they lay helpless on the ground. More shockingly still, the activists had only just returned from captivity in ‘Israeli’ dungeons. They were participants in the heroic Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which sought to bring aid to Palestinians starved by Zionists’ grotesque restriction of aid to Gaza. As GSF explain: When a family member, waiting anxiously…
