How the UK government is trying to tackle juries who may acquit pro-Palestine activists on moral grounds

A UK Court of Appeal ruling is being criticized as an attempt to prevent juries from acquitting activists on moral grounds. The ruling upheld a judge's direction that jurors could face criminal charges if they acquitted defendants based on conscience rather than evidence. This legal development follows several cases where pro-Palestine activists, protesting against the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems, were acquitted by juries. Campaign groups argue this is a deliberate government effort to crack down on acquittals for members of social movements.
