Jersey-based anti-genocide activist Natalie Strecker has been found not guilty at her trial on ‘terror’ charges for supporting the Palestinians’ right of resistance to Israel’s occupation, which is guaranteed under international law. She could have faced up to ten years in prison if convicted.

The government had told the ‘jurat’s of the trial – lay judges – to ignore that international law, but the ‘not guilty’ verdict was delivered just now anyway.

In a statement after the verdict, Ms Strecker said that all focus should remain on the Palestinian people and Israel’s crimes against them:

I, Natalie Strecker, following one of the worst and most stressful years of my life, have finally been vindicated of the charges of inviting support for a proscribed organisation. I am grateful to the court and the jurats, for their deliberations and correctly concluding that, despite maybe clumsy wording on occasion, I never intended to invite support for any of the groups cited. I also thank them for the respect and fellow feeling they demonstrated to me throughout the proceedings.

If Government were a strictly scientific enterprise where inputs would give one precise answer you could argue that an inaccuracy on one input is BAD, but it ain't !
