If you want to protest in UK against a government that outlawed the pacifist organization "Palestine Action" with the anti-terrorism law, here is a plan for you:

1) Print the T-Shirt of the image below
2) Make a trip to UK
3) Wear the shirt at a public rally
4) Get unduly arrested under terrorism act for speaking the truth as nonviolent resistance against the authoritarian nature of regimes supporting ongoing genocide.

„(…) Amnesty has intervened in the situation – after the Met Police threatened all participants with arrest. And on top of all this, Defend Our Juries website has been taken down – showing that any dissent from the Zionist lobby’s agenda in the UK will not be tolerated.“

PopularResistance.Org · Amnesty Shows Support For Defend Our Juries As Group’s Site Taken Down - PopularResistance.OrgDefend Our Juries have confirmed they expect more than 500 people to take part in Saturday’s Lift The Ban pro-Palestine Action protest, which will take place in and around Parliament Square in London at 1pm. Meanwhile, Amnesty has intervened in the situation – after the Met Police threatened all participants with arrest. And on top of all this, Defend Our Juries website has been taken down – showing that any dissent from the Zionist lobby’s agenda in the UK will not be tolerated. As SKWAWKBOX wrote: The defendourjuries.org website has been disabled by apparent government legal threat to the site’s hosting provider. The site provided legal advice to those affected by the government’s ‘lawfare’ war on freedom of speech and protest about Israel’s genocide in Gaza, informed potential jurors about their rights in court to decide their verdict regardless of orders and pressure from the Establishment – and also campaigned for the de-proscription of Palestine Action, the anti-genocide direct action group banned as a terrorist organisation in an unprecedented, and Israel-lobby-driven, move last month that makes support for it a criminal offence punishable by up to fourteen years imprisonment.

Update on the Court Decision of Anarchist Andreas F: Athens, Greece

On Friday 18/7, the court ended the “Revenge Conspiracy” case in which the anarchist comrade Andreas Floros was on trial. After the prosecutor’s acquittal, the court unanimously declared the comrade innocent due to doubt concerning membership and with no doubts at all on any other charges, and Andreas was released from Korydallos prison a few hours later.

Over 70 people were gathered in solidarity inside and outside the courtroom, which was tightly cordoned off by all the special forces of the police, breaking the deafening silence of every kind of court with slogans of solidarity, standing by Andreas and every persecuted person.

The acquittal comes after 15 months of being held hostage in Amfissa and Korydallos prisons for Andreas, who from the first moment of his arrest denied any charges in the otherwise bleak scenario of the anti-terrorism. Once again, it was proven that the anti-terrorism, relying on the legislative framework of 187A, is organizing persecutions against anarchists and individuals in struggle. In this way, they have repeatedly attempted to spread fear around anyone who dares to question and stand against the dominant dictates of the exploitation system.

In a case with many parameters that had to be taken into account by the world of solidarity, we witnessed vengeful methods, not only against our comrade but also against the other defendants in the case aimed at supporting the anti-terrorist scenario and ultimately imposing exhaustive sentences on most of them. In a court in which any coherent evidence leading to the support of 187A was not even supplied by the very service that had led to the prosecution, the terrorist once again became the Trojan horse so that the scenarios and methods of the state and the MME could be validated .

Thus, those accused and convicted under 187A, received long-term sentences in the first instance, starting from 15 years and reaching 37 years (estimated 20) for the anarchist Fotis Tziotzis, who, although he was imprisoned during the time the actions of the indictment took place, was convicted of “moral instigation” for all the actions and for “direction” of the organization. At the same time, no mitigating circumstances were recognized, even for the accused who “fell” under 187A.

In the face of this entire horror-narrative, for 15 months now comrade Andreas has maintained a consistent militant stance throughout the condition of confinement. He published texts both on his case and on broader social/class issues and participated in several events by telephone. Furthermore, a solidarity movement was set up with dozens of events and actions in several cities. The solidarity movement succeeded in reversing the terror regime that the police had tried to impose, especially in the city of Patras. The world of struggle found itself on the streets and stood against repression in an era of accelerating state violence and an imposed modern totalitarianism.

Andreas’s case encapsulates all the vengeful fury of the state and the police against those who unwaveringly stand by the oppressed and exploited, on the side of those at the bottom of this world.
To those who do not tolerate repression, fascism, sexism, war, death and poverty. To those who fight for a world of freedom, equality and solidarity.
