Six more defendants in the Gaza protests trials (see SchNEWS 711) were sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court last Friday, all for violent disorder.

Those under 18 at the time received sentences ranging from 8 months to a year while the adults received between one and two years. One defendant got a suspended sentence due to a history of mental illness.

An emergency protest has been called for today, at 9.30am at Isleworth Crown Court. There will be a public meeting on the jailing of the Gaza protesters next Tuesday (2nd) Committee room 19, House of Commons (St Stephens entrance)
