Defend Our Juries

Defend Our Juries is a UK-based activist group formed in 2020 by, among others, former government lawyer Tim Crosland (following his contempt of court case regarding Heathrow expansion).[1]  It exists to highlight what it sees as the undermining of the UK legal process with regard to the right for individuals to act on their conscience. It has, in particular, supported the actions of those protesting in the Just Stop Oil[2][3] and Insulate Britain[1][4] campaigns and those protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
