[Plus audio version]
Friday June 12 2026 was a dark day in English legal history, on which four people were jailed as “terrorists” despite obviously being nothing of the kind.
Worse still, they had only been convicted of minor charges, with the jury not informed that they could go on to be sentenced for “terrorism” by judge Jeremy Johnson.
Three days later (and the timing is probably no coincidence) the Court of Appeal ruled in the government’s favour over its outrageous designation of Palestine Action as an illegal “terrorist” organisation, declaring that the ban is, in fact, lawful.
What is particularly disturbing is that this twisting of the country’s judicial system has quite clearly been carried out on behalf of a power which is essentially foreign but which has permeated and corrupted national institutions to their very core and whose tyrannical grip on society, in Britain and elsewhere, is becoming ever more arrogant and blatant.
The criminal case was that of the Filton Four – young activists who took direct action against an Elbit Systems factory which makes weapons used in Israel’s genocide in Gaza (and beyond), in which extensive damage was caused and one police officer slightly and unintentionally injured while trying to stop them.
Declassified UK reported shortly after the sentencing: “Four Palestine Action activists have been sentenced to a combined total of more than 25 years in prison, after a judge ruled that they could be treated as terrorists.
“Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani were convicted of criminal damage last month in relation to a raid against an Israeli arms factory in Bristol in 2024.
“Head and Kamio were given six years, Rajwani received five years and eight months, and Corner was sentenced to eight years and eight months. Gasps could be heard from the public gallery as the sentences were delivered, as some family members cried”.
The sentencing was swiftly condemned by many, including at least one representative of prime minister Keir Starmer’s own party. Labour MP for Leeds East Richard Burgon said: “The sentences handed to four young activists for taking direct action at an Israeli arms factory are completely disproportionate and wrong.
Journalist Jonathan Cook said: “This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It’s a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain… this was always a show trial”.
He pointed out that the judge effectively overturned the jury’s conviction of the four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
“As one of their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
“Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes”.
Another journalist, Matt Kennard, remarked: “Remember what the Filton actionists did. They decommissioned the machinery of genocide, the moral equivalent of destroying Zyklon B canisters at Auschwitz. A British judge is now sentencing them as ‘terrorists’ for it”. He added: “The jury that convicted them had no idea this would be introduced at sentencing. Sick and lawless”.
Amnesty International UK said: “It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them… The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end”.
Journalist Barry Malone described the sentencing as “utterly chilling”, adding that “this is a Britain becoming more authoritarian because its government is so slavishly devoted to supporting another country’s genocidal campaign” and author Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu declared: “We must fight the evil power Israel and Zionists hold in Britain”.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan commented: “Destroying private ‘israeli’ weapons used in a genocide gets you a longer sentence than child grooming in occupied Britain. For the first time, activists are sentenced as ‘terrorists’ for property damage. This will go down as one of the most unjust cases in British history”.
While the usual Zionist troll accounts were activated on X to pour scorn on such concerns from a supposedly “patriotic” British perspective, the serious implications of the case have also been noticed by some people in nationalist circles, who have realised that the same methods could well be used against them as well.
Here he says that the judge seemed to have circumvented the age-old English legal tradition of jury nullification by holding back information from the jury, ensuring that the jurors did not know how severe the punishment would be if the defendants were convicted.
He adds that Mr Justice Johnson also put in place a number of other pre-trial rulings that prevented the defendants from being able to defend themselves properly.
He barred the defendants’ barristers from inviting the jury to apply the principle of jury equity or from even informing the jury that such a principle exists.
“This again takes the English legal system a step further away from trials based on evidence, facts and testimony, and closer to Soviet-style show trials where ideology, supposed motivations and political bias play a disproportionate role in the outcome…
“What’s more, a judge has attempted to set a new precedent that intends to ban defendants from speaking openly in court about their own motivations and from bringing up key facts that surround the case and place their actions in a wider context…
“Finally, it is obviously worth noting that this landmark case and its irregular ruling involves punishing those who have acted against the state of Israel and Zionist interests. This is clearly part of the current political and legal shift that aims to intimidate and criminalise those who protest against Israel’s political and military actions…
“This clearly is not simply intended to serve as means of punishment, but is yet another way that the British establishment hopes to scare people into silence and gag those who wish to talk about Zionist power”.
Important light is shed on the wider undermining of the English legal system by Brian Gerrish of UK Column in the first issue of the independent news outlet’s new printed magazine, The Column. ………. …………

This concerns an event to be held in Jerusalem in November 2026 which, she warns us, is “designed to launch an international Noahide court system and reshape Western civil law”.
She provides a link to the event website and the immediate impact is chilling for anyone aware of the judeo-supremacist Noahide agenda. “You Will Stand Where History Begins Anew”, it states. “The First International Congress of Noahides. Community leaders from six continents. One founding moment”.
Bennun describes the event as “a highly organized assembly designed to build a worldwide Noahide judicial and political structure” and stresses: “The shift from just ‘abstract’ religious ideas to a real, functioning global Noahide legal system is happening right under our noses”.
“They are openly planning to draft a binding universal charter, elect councils across six continents, and officially launch the First International Rabbinic Court, or Beit Din.
“Led by Rabbi Oury Cherki (pictured), this supreme legal body will use regional judges to oversee a strict, three-stage process where non-Jewish people make official legal declarations, locking themselves into a centralized authority based in Jerusalem”.
The conference’s website is quite explicit about this project for imposing global Judaic law from Israel, stating in the FAQ section: “The International Beit Din is the rabbinical court being formally established at the Congress… The Beit Din will receive halachic [Jewish law] questions from Noahide communities worldwide and provide unified rulings from Jerusalem”.
Bennun comments: “What makes this incredibly alarming is how deeply it is plugging into top level Israeli government diplomacy. The grand finale of this event is scheduled to take place at Beit HaNasi, the official residence of the President of Israel.
“Delegates from all over the world will read a formal declaration in their own languages and hand the signed global charter directly to the Israeli president to secure official Israeli state recognition.
“This kind of political backing is exactly what I have been warning about. For decades, American politicians have been quietly slipping recognition of these Noahide concepts into congressional resolutions and education acts, slowly setting the stage to present these codes as the official moral foundation of our civil laws and global governance…
Noahide troll propaganda
“We are watching a well financed, highly organized global Judaic network go live in real time, complete with its own international finance committee, mandatory fees, and a unified curriculum.
“Individuals are being pressured to stand before this newly formed Rabbinic Court to receive an official compliance status, completely subordinating themselves to a Jewish group of judges… A dangerous system of Noahide global control is being built right before our eyes under the fake banner of universal moral unity”.

Regarding comrade Soheil Arabi and comrade Afshin Heyratiyan, many media outlets have remained silent—even those that claim to be radical leftist, such as Blackfish Voice and the Worker-Communist Party, and even many outlets and artists who claim independence and support for all political prisoners.
This silence is not unrelated to the historical censorship of anarchism. Numerous books, including E. H. Carr’s *History of Soviet Russia*, significantly downplay the role of anarchists in the Russian Revolution, along with countless other cases where the role of anarchists has been ignored in the International, the Paris Commune, the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Spanish Revolution, and more.
Comrades, this is not a simple coincidence; it is a coordinated collusion against our comrades and our movement. We must, with all our strength, rescue our comrades and our movement from under the blade of censorship and repression.

According to reliable information, anarcho-syndicalist political prisoner Soheil Arabi was temporarily released from prison on bail several days ago. He is currently undergoing medical treatment for the severe psychological and physical consequences of the torture and abuse inflicted upon him during his imprisonment.
Following his arrest on 11 March 2026, Soheil Arabi was seized in Tehran by the security apparatus of the Islamic-Shiite fascist regime ruling Iran. During his arrest and detention, he was subjected to psychological and physical violence before being transferred to the notorious Qezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran.
This message from comrade Soheil Arabi was published through some social networks:
DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF PRISONERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE SENTENCED TO DEATH, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL TENDENCY. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE VICTIMS COME FROM THE OPPRESSED AND EXPLOITED CLASSES AND HAVE NO VOICE. BE THEIR VOICE!
His words are a reminder that the struggle against imprisonment, torture, and execution is inseparable from the struggle against all forms of domination, exploitation, and state violence.
We express our solidarity with all political prisoners, imprisoned workers, dissidents, and those facing execution.
For workers’ self-organization and self-management, social justice, and human liberation!
Freedom for all political prisoners!
No to prisons, torture, and executions!
Neither Mullahs! Nor Shah! Nor War!

Since seizing power, the Taliban have gradually imposed increasingly oppressive and discriminatory laws on women. These restrictions include banning women from education and employment, forcing them to cover their hair and faces, and in many parts of Afghanistan, even preventing them from leaving their homes or moving freely without a male guardian.
The people of Jebrail, a predominantly Hazara district of Herat, were the first to answer that call. On Tuesday’s demonstration, women and men marched side by side through the streets, chanting “Work, Education, Freedom.”
For years, Afghan women have resisted this gender-based oppression in different ways.
[10/06/2026 10:39] TheFreeOnline😻: still from video showing the suppression of popular protests in response to the arrest of women by the Taliban’s morality police in the city of Jibril, Herat Province
The Taliban responded to the protest with violent repression. At least twenty-three people were injured, and a large number of demonstrators have been arrested, with their whereabouts still unknown.
Afghan activists and civil society campaigners have called for the protests to continue and have urged people to gather again after Friday prayers. Demonstrations are expected to continue in the coming days.
Their demands are clear: to stop the flogging of women, seek justice for the victims of repression, and challenge a government that enforces deeply regressive interpretations of Islamic law.
*****************
This popular protest in Jibrail, Herat, once again exposed the deep gulf between the people’s demand for a free life and the ruling authority’s repressive policies. The women and men who took to the streets under the slogan “Bread, Work, Freedom” have asked for nothing beyond the most basic human rights; they have demanded the right to live with dignity, the right to work, the right to freedom, and the right to participate in shaping their own destiny
We stand beside all those who, without resorting to violence, raise their voices for freedom, social justice, equality, and human dignity. The voice of the women of Herat is the voice of a people defending their right to live freely under the most difficult conditions.
**********************
Popular protests continue in response to the arrest of women by the Taliban’s Department for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in the city of Jibril, Herat Province.
The demonstrators, a significant number of whom are women, have taken to the streets to protest the increasing restrictions on citizens’ rights and freedoms.
According to published reports, at least two people have been killed so far in the course of these events, and dozens more have been injured. However, due to restrictions on reporting and the difficulty of accessing independent information, an exact casualty count is still unavailable.
Another concern is that if the injured go to hospital, they may be identified and arrested by the Taliban.
The recent protests in Herat are among the most significant popular responses to the Taliban’s restrictive policies. Despite threats and security crackdowns, the protesters — especially women — continue to insist on their demands for bread, work, and freedom.

Footage circulated on social media shows the moment Iranian missiles passed over the city of Kermanshah during the daily nighttime gatherings.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported injuries in the Israeli aggression on a residential building in Tahwitat al-Ghadir in Beirut’s Southern Suburb.
“Israel has massacred over 3,500 people in Lebanon since the ” ceasefire” began. And forced 1,500,000 to flee their homes”…
In solidarity with Lebanese víctims Irán has just launched misiles at terrorist nuclear armed Israel!
comment:
All modern ‘Nation States’ tend to give power to corrupt capitalist elites with a monopoly of evil police, legal and propaganda violence.
The States’ structure thus promotes top down repression, misogyny, and racism. ‘Successful’ States are usually based on colonial theft and slavery. The worst are those which give power to one exclusive racial group.
But the very worst, like Israel, are those ruled by an exclusive religion, an exclusive race, and a fascist ideology of their own supremacy….
