Is there already a thread about the sentencing announcement?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce950111xk7o

Prison sentences ranging from 4 to 7 years, and they'll be on 1-year licence when they come out.

"Corner was jailed for seven years and eight months for criminal damage and inflicting grievous bodily harm on a police sergeant."

"Head, who drove the prison van into the compound, was sentenced to five years in prison, Kamio was also handed a five-year jail term, and Rajwani received a prison sentence of four years and eight months"

Political reactions:

"Green Party Leader Zack Polanski said it was "gut-wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel"."

"He added that the sentence was a "truly dangerous attack on the right to protest"."

"Labour MP John McDonnell said the scale of the sentences was "truly shocking"."

The case is believed to be the first time that convictions for criminal damage have been classified as terrorism.
