The British state is prosecuting the barrister representing Palestine Action activists, for the ‘crime’ of reminding jurors of their right to acquit the accused! This is yet another egregious attack on the Palestine movement and our democratic rights.

In yet another setback for Starmer’s beleaguered government, the High Court has ruled that Labour’s proscription of Palestine Action is “disproportionate” and “unlawful”. This is a victory for the Palestine movement, and exposes the crisis of the ruling regime.

The British ruling class is clamping down on free speech and attack our democratic rights. In this episode, RCP Executive Committee member Nelson Wan outlines how communists approach the question of democratic rights, and howe we can fight to defend them on a class basis.
