Wonderful news that Starmer's government has failed to set a precedent in Jersey by jailing pacifist Natalie Strecker as a supporter of terrorism for expressing opposition to genocide.

However, the judge left the door open to future prosecutions, warning that it could be a criminal offence to make statements in accordance with international law – when they relate to the right of the occupied Palestinian people to resist Israel's illegal occupation.

According to the BBC, Judge Sir John Saunders "urged people passionate about conflicts in the Middle East to be careful with their public statements" – in other words, the court backed the government's efforts to chill speech critical both of Israel's genocide and of the British government's complicity in that genocide.

That means the fight continues in the rest of the UK to stop this grossly authoritarian government from stripping us of basic speech rights – and reclassifying protest as terrorism.
