“It is outrageous that Chris and Ben, their families and friends, will be left with this threat of criminal charges hanging over them, possibly for many more months.”
Stop the War have issued the following statement on the trial of their Vice Chair Chris Nineham and Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign Ben Jamal.
A court has decided today to postpone the trial of Chris Nineham and Ben Jamal.
There will be a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday to find a date for the trial.
Chris and Ben will be attending court and the protest planned for City Magistrates’ Court will now take place outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday July 7th at 9am where we will be calling for the charges to be dropped.
It is outrageous that Chris and Ben, their families and friends, will be left with this threat of criminal charges hanging over them, possibly for many more months.
The charges should never have been brought and are a political attack designed to suppress solidarity with the Palestinian people. Join us outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday at 9am.
