Government or Israel lobby breaking anti-terror laws to use anti-terror laws against protest and freedom of speech
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.
How the Defend Our Juries site looked before the take-down.
As the group behind the site explained this evening in a short thread of X posts, the take-down - through implied legal threat to the hosting company, either from the government or an Israel lobby group - attempts to deprive potentially thousands of people of information on their legal rights:
