This research by Queen Mary University of London should be a wake up call for the UK government and judicial institutions:
286 political prisoners in Britain, held in relation to their activism for Palestinian rights or against fossil fuel.
Prison sentences for acts of direct action or civil disobedience (which were once rare) are now being imposed with increasing length and frequency.
In Great Britain.

Get down to Westminster Magistrates Court today 10am if you can.
We will fight for our colleagues to be released.
Protesting against a genocide is not terrorism.

We demand their immediate release.
