SCIENTIST JAILED FOR 27 MONTHS OVER PEACEFUL PROTEST!

SR co-founder & human rights Mike Lynch-White sentenced to 27 months today for peacefully disrupting production of military components made in the UK and supplied to with @pal_action. The justice system serves the interests of the powerful by imprisoning the peaceful, brave people who stand up to injustice. This sentence follows that of 2.7 and 3 years for Morgan and Marcus from @JustStopOil. [1/n]

"I have seen how the Palestinian people are at best second class citizens on their own ever-shrinking lands. Clearly, this is apartheid. We have denounced and defeated it before and we must again. Do not be brow-beaten into silent complicity by claims that supporting the near-defenseless Palestinian people is anti-semitic. The far-right government of Israel is doing this, not the Jewish people. Stand with the​​​​​​​ defenselessness, not the powerful." Mike said regarding this action. [2/n]

Mike already spent 3 months on remand for another protest with the climate group Burning Pink, and might face a further custody sentence for his involvement in the group Heathrow Pause. The trial will take place in June.
