Ellie Kamio is one of the ‘Filton 25’ group of anti-genocide activists targeted by the UK government for damaging an Israeli death factory. In the sick farce of Keir Starmer’s war on UK, Kamio and three others were sentenced as terrorists despite being charged with no terror offence. The judge, deeply connected to the ‘security services’, banned the jury from knowing they could acquit — and banned jurors from knowing about his sentencing plans until after they convicted. Even the press were banned from reporting on it. But Kamio remains defiant and celebrates the ‘award’ of her ‘terror’ sentence. View this post…

An Old Bailey judge has declared Palestine Action ‘actionist’ William Plastow, 35, not guilty of the state’s charge of ‘violent disorder’. The case demonstrates why the state is so keen to prevent juries knowing their right to acquit or being told about the political context for damage to Israel weapons factories. The judge in the recent trial of four ‘Filton 25’ activists banned lawyers from informing the jury it could acquit. He banned discussion of political context. He also banned even the press from reporting that he would sentence the activists as terrorists despite no terror charges being brought. The alleged…

Jeremy Johnson is the security services-linked judge who sentenced four ‘Filton 25’ activists as terrorists for trying to prevent mass murder. He is also the judge who tried to convict Rajiv Menon KC, one of the defence lawyers, for contempt of court. The appeal court had upheld Menon’s appeal, on procedural grounds, against the first charge Johnson brought, but also said Johnson could award himself the right to try again if he ticked the right boxes. And he is trying again. He has even decided he can bring the case as ‘summary proceedings”, despite there being no urgency. The case will…

A judge has told four ‘Filton 25’ anti-genocide activists, at Woolwich Crown Court today, 12 June 2026, that they will be sentenced as terrorists. The four had been tried for no terrorism offences and were formally acquitted of any violent intent.

Johnson had banned lawyers and the press from informing the jury that they could acquit — and that the defendants were going to be sentenced under terror laws if convicted. This decision will mean much longer prison time and draconian conditions…
