How an ancient law is STILL being used to punish men, women & CHILDREN. Made in 2009 & it’s more important than ever. The #CPS released their #jointenterprise data this week & its horrifying to see who they target. This documentary tells us how they keep getting away with it youtu.be/xy_IUfHiYK8?...

A mini protest in London yesterday, reminding the world about #jointenterprise. This week the #CPS released their data on JE & we learned the true horror of this legal doctrine. 19% of the convictions are CHILDREN with four under the age of 13.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians

The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

This was an incredibly powerful session on race and #jointenterprise - very proud to be counsel assisting this Westminster Commission

Kim Johnson MP @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social · Mar 4

Last night, we held our second evidence session of the Westminster Commission on Joint Enterprise.

A powerful discussion on racial injustices, the causes of disproportionality in joint enterprise cases, and how we can drive reform to prevent these disparities in the future.

Young people convicted under joint enterprise are being convicted not for what they did but for being in the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time.

Proud to back @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social‬'s call for urgent reform this week.

This short film describes the horror of #jointenterprise & who it targets. Laura the young mum training to be a midwife not at the scene of a death & Joe a schoolboy on a park 500 metres away when a young boy was stabbed by someone else.

I’ve tabled NC13 to the Crime & Policing Bill – calling for urgent reform of joint enterprise law.

#JointEnterprise has become a legal dragnet, fuelled by racial bias, gang stereotypes & guilt by association.

#Jogee In 2016 The Supreme Court acknowledged the #wrongturn in law (1984 #jointenterprise), it didn’t lead to acquittals of those convicted by the wrong interpretation of the law. It didn’t stop the use of #foresight it led to a fresh #injustice, the #substantialinjustice test & NO acquittals …
