The New Dark Age

• Following the arrests of over 700 people for holding signs to call on the UK government to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action and to end their complicity in Israel’s genocide, Defend Our Juries have announced a mass action in London on September 6th 2025.

• Please join an Open Call on Tuesday 19th of August at 6:30pm for full details and to make a commitment to action. The link below will go live shortly before the Open Call begins – please refresh your browser.

• We have recently put together a brand new exhibition detailing a Timeline of a Genocide, to communicate the clear links between corporate interests in the oil & arms trades and the suppression of protest rights in the UK. This exhibition was displayed outside the pre-trial hearing of the Filton 18 at a London court on June 30th, 2025.

• It is the secret meetings between government officials and vested corporate interests which has led to the imprisonment of those taking action to oppose genocide and ecocide in the UK, including the imprisonment of the Filton 24 for taking action against Israel’s largest UK weapons facility – Elbit Systems.

• An appeal ruling was given at the Royal Courts of Justice on Friday 7th March for another group of UK Political Prisoners, the ‘Lord’ Walney 16 – See details of the ruling here.

• The outcome of their mass-appeal has far-reaching consequences for peaceful protest in the UK, and is an important part of the Timeline of Corruption witnessed between corporate interests and UK lawmakers.
