Barrister in Palestine Action trial facing contempt of court proceedings
Rajiv Menon KC accused of defying judge’s orders to not inform jury of right to acquit on basis of conscience

A leading human rights barrister is facing contempt of court proceedings after he was accused of defying a judge’s orders during a trial of Palestine Action activists.

Rajiv Menon KC is accused of breaching the judge’s directions while giving his closing speech in the trial of six people in relation to a 2024 direct action protest at an arms factory of the Israeli subsidiary Elbit Systems UK in Filton, near Bristol.

None of the defendants were convicted of any offence after the first trial, which concluded in January, but they were retried. After the second jury’s verdicts on Tuesday, the proceedings against Menon, who represented Charlotte Head in both trials, can be reported.

Menon previously worked on the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, the inquests of victims of the Hillsborough disaster and the Grenfell Tower inquiry.

The proceedings are believed to be the first brought against a barrister in respect of a jury speech in living memory, possibly ever.

It is starting to look as if the Hormuz crisis may be abating, with the US calling off its ill starred project to 'guide' ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

The talk now is of the US proposing a deal whereby Iran would agree to a 'moratorium' on uranium enrichment (for how long exactly?), which if true (far from certain) implies that Iran would actually retain some sort of control or possession of its existing stockpile. In return the US would agree to lift sanctions (in whole or in part?). There would also be some form of lifting of the restraints on shipping via the Strait of Hormuz, though again we don't know whether the Iranians would maintain their stance that they have henceforth overall control.

If there is anything truth to any of this then obviously the demands for Iran to give up its ballistic missile programme or abandon its regional allies (the Houthis and Hezbollah) are being abandoned, as are plans for 'cutting off the head of the snake', ie. regime change and all that....

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
