Reportedly:

the jury must not know the trial is for terrorism charges & that long prison terms are possible;

UK media are banned from reporting on the terrorism aspect (confirmed by journalists);

the 6 must *not* refer to their motives for damaging Israeli weapons factories.

Arguably, Palestine Action is being targeted bcz of its effectiveness.

Yes, agree. However, afaik, the previous charge was "burglary". This time it's "criminal damage". There's a pile of different charges.

I seem to remember one couldn't be subjected to repeated trials for the same crime, until the persecutors got the result they wanted, but perhaps I imagined we used to have a form of justice?

But what kind of "principle"? Fascist principle?

At this point it is clear it has become of a matter of principle for lawmakers, nothing else.

They'll know the charges are "criminal damage". They are banned from knowing that the defendents can be sentenced as "terrorists" (much longer sentences). And the UK press is banned from publishing the fact.

How on Earth will Starmer's pet judges run a trial in which the jury will not know what the charges are?

Kafka couldn't have written anything more errm... Kafkaesque.

Yes. To your knowledge, have police in any US client states ever refused orders?
