  It’s called being “held on remand” when they think someone is so dangerous that they have to be in prison until their trial. If that person gets found not guilty they occasionally get a “whoops, sorry” but I wouldn’t bet on it

  The activists were imprisoned without trial.

  How is this legal

  Because it isn’t true.

  The facts of the case are being deliberately obscured to further agendas rather than promoting the truth.

    They’ve been in prison until this point. That’s nearly two years in prison without having been found guilty in a trial. The maximum is supposed to be six months.

      To be clear, they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer that they took with them for that purpose. Then they publicly stated that they would do it again as soon as they got the chance. It’s that later statement which is why they had to be kept behind bars

      So what should we do, let them out to injure or kill someone or keep them in jail?

  They had the option to apologise, say things got out of control and agree to bail conditions but they refused to do that so they are in prison by their own choice.

  It would be negligent of the justice system to do nothing and release them to find another victim. They have since been tried and found guilty.

    they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer

    Just to be clear, the protestors were not using a hammer, but the person they attacked was attempting to brutalise them with a hammer, so its actually better to describe the situation as:

    Protestors defend themselves when a police officer attacked them with a hammer.

    Your wording is very weaselly.

        I love your evidence is from before the trial, when the video showed in court finally showed it was the other way around and the police officer lied as the police always do.
