Protesters shut down Waterloo station over Filton 25 terror sentencing plans
By

Summary
Protesters shut down London's Waterloo station in a demonstration against the UK government's (referred to as the 'Starmer regime') plan to sentence anti-genocide protesters under terrorism laws. The protest relates to the case of the 'Filton 25' — six defendants who were retried after the first jury refused to convict them on charges related to damaging an Israeli-owned weapons factory. The article alleges that security service-linked judge Jeremy Johns presided over the retrial, and criticizes the government for pursuing terror-related sentencing despite no terror charges being brought.
