The Trial That Shook The Nation!

Say these three words in Britain today and you could face up to 14 years in prison.The words are: "I support Palestine Action." Following the group's proscription under UK terrorism law, expressing support can now constitute a serious criminal offence.This week on The Tea, we're joined by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori to examine one of the most controversial political decisions in modern Britain. Why has Palestine Action been placed in the same legal category as ISIS and neo-Nazi organisations? And what does that mean for democracy, civil liberties and the future of political protest?From the Filton Four case to the government's use of counterterrorism powers, we ask: where is the line between criminal damage, civil disobedience and terrorism? Is this about protecting national security—or expanding the definition of terrorism to encompass political dissent?Also in the show:⚡ How Palestine Action was formed: Ammori’s path to direct action⚡ Can BDS change the system?
