A British judge has sentenced four Palestine Action protesters as terrorists, handing them custodial sentences ranging from four to eight years.
The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during the prosecution.
On Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, added a “terrorism connection” to their offences.
In a preliminary ruling in March 2025, Johnson found an “appearance” of a terrorism connection in the case, as he said the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons. This information was withheld from the jury who convicted them.
The OWNER has been disclosed, it’s the source of FUNDING being obscured. But considering who owns it, the Qatari connection absolutely makes sense:

So who is Jamal Awn Jamal Bessasso? Well…
Former director of planning and human resources for Al Jazeera in… wait for it… Qatar.
Al Jazeera, as good as they are, has a notable blind spot with Qatar due to THEIR funding, most folks recognize that, so it makes sense MEE would be the same.
This doesn’t mean either source is necessarily out of line when reporting non-Qatari interests, but definitely grain of salt worthy otherwise.
