Five Palestine Action activists face being sentenced as terrorists after they sprayed red paint and cracked windows at a branch of Barclays bank to protest the company’s links to an Israeli weapons manufacturer.
I don’t have that much time so I read the justification for terrorist connection aggravating factor and it’s exactly what I said here. I don’t see anything about Suffragettes in there. Can you point me to the part that talks about it?
Sorry, rereading I was completely unclear about which case I was refering to, and got my conflicts of interest mixed up - I meant the proscription judgement (https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/civ/2026/721?query=AMMORI&court=ewca%2Fciv) and Johnson wasn’t on this panel, his judgement is just based on it. The Suffragettes actions are specifically brought up as “civil disobedience” rather than “direct action”, which is a distinction the proscription kinda hinges on.
