An unspeakably evil miscarriage of justice!

The Whole Truth Five have been sentenced today. In an obscene perversion of justice, our brave friends Cressie, Daniel, Lucia, and Lou were handed prison sentences of 4 years each, and Roger 5 years, after being convicted of conspiracy to cause public nuisance.
They will join Amy Pritchard who was sentenced to 10 months in prison for breaking a window belonging to the world's largest fossil fuel funder JP Morgan. The system is doing all it can to stamp out civil resistance when it is used to call for climate action. Why? Because it works.
Our original demand has been met in large measure due to the sacrifices people have made in resistance to climate genocide. These five people carried that resistance and sheer defiance into the court room. They were right, their actions helped win our demand, and now they are being jailed for it.

Professor McGuire, Emeritus Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London, said: “The trial and verdict were a farce. They mark a low point in British justice and they were an assault on free speech." while Sir David King called it "disgraceful".

What do we do in the the face of this repression? We carry on, defiant. We stand together in solidarity. We fight on – nonviolently. They cannot jail their way out of the climate crisis.

Many people lined the way for the Serco vans this morning, bringing in Cressie, Daniel, Lucia, Roger and Lou. Our applause and cheers for them answered by them banging the walls of the van. We have so much love for them.

Soil is also vital because…

🌳 It stores more carbon than the earth’s atmosphere, plant life and forests put together.

🌍 It holds more organisms within a single gram than there are humans on earth.

💧 It acts as a natural water filtration system, creating pure water in underground aquifers.

"The Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territories has released a report on war crimes in Gaza.
Speaking in Geneva, Navi Pillay, chair of the UN-backed Commission, says Israel “forcibly transferred almost the entire population into a small enclosure that is unsafe and uninhabitable.
“The deliberate use of heavy weapons with large destructive capacity in densely populated areas constitutes an intentional and direct attack on the civilian population.”

Pillay says the commission concluded that specific forms of sexual and gender-based violence constitute part of Israeli security forces operating procedures.

The daily onslaught in Gaza has largely overshadowed a parallel wave of violence in the occupied West Bank, said Pillay of the UN commission of inquiry.

Since the Gaza war began in October, she noted, more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers there than in any recorded period.

The violence is due to both Israel’s increasingly militarised operations and a “surge in settler violence”, often ignored by Israeli forces, she said."
