We must demand that the courageous hunger strikers with Palestine Action be released from jail on bail, and that we repeal the acts and laws that criminalize dissidence.
It's not even ironic that the terrorists call everyone else terrorists. One would think a the bobbies would refuse. A few at least. That would shut it down, prima facia violation of human rights. Life on Mars.
It's terrible what's going on in the UK....the government not only learned nothing from from the repression of Irish republicans, the 1971 internments and 1981 hunger strikes in the North of Ireland, but has worsened their response to dissent.

Canada is trying to pass Bill C-9, which would give the Canadian government the same power to do what the British government is doing.

Canada, too? I’m a US citizen so I guess that escape option is gone.
Done; also Press Conferences about Bill C-9 across Canada last week.
Stan, Perhaps Ireland is an escape option.

A small correction Chris. These brave activists were arrested before the proscription of Palestine Action! The rule of law has been trashed.
Thank you for drawing attention to the plight of these amazing young people.
How can support them specifically at this precise moment?
The British government has a grim tradition of allowing hunger strikers to die in service of its colonial ideology.
so disgusting - how many of these oppressive bills were ever asked for by the public?
I suppose it is OK to limit this for Israel, But many times I think the U.S. is not included as much as it should be
The genocide does not go on without U.S. support many claim
Should this strike say something about it too even if not a full boycott?
What do you suggest we do to make this demand?
