Small Park, Big Run and Big Sing for Palestine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGTx16jWdDs
There was an amazing weekend of events at Meersbrook Park this weekend, raising awareness about Palestinian political prisoners. Runners ran right through the night and events culminated with a live link-up to people in Khan Younis in Gaza and a Big Sing including members of many different choirs around Sheffield.
Many thanks to Cllr Alexi Dimond for these photosFew things illustrate better how Israel is an Apartheid State than the introduction of the death penalty only for Palestinian people. The death penalty is abhorrent in any circumstances, but singling out one race of people to be subject to it clearly shows Israel is a racist, apartheid state.
Many thanks to Cllr Alexi Dimond for these photosMany of the prisoners are not much older than my eldest grandchild. No child should be imprisoned, but resisting when troops or settlers are stealing your land and murdering your parents is surely not a crime.
Many thanks to Cllr Alexi Dimond for these photosMany Palestinians want Marwan Barghouti to be their leader, but instead, he is jailed on trumped-up charges. Eighteen years of imprisonment would be equivalent to a life sentence in many countries. We need to keep up the pressure on the Israeli Government to free Marwan Barghouti, just like we campaigned for Nelson Mandela.
Many thanks to Cllr Alexi Dimond for these photosAt the end of December 2025, the Israel Prison Service (IPS) was holding 9,128 Palestinians in detention or in prison on what it defined as “security” grounds, including 1,477 from the Gaza Strip.
But it is not just in Israel where people of goodwill languish in prison for standing up for the Palestinian cause. Hearing a speaker from the Filton 25 (see video above) reminded us that direct action against those providing the weapons to war criminals can now lead to long “terrorism” charges, and simply holding a banner has led to the arrest of 100s of Defend our Jury supporters.

@pissaladiere.bsky.social The huge number of arrests for support of #PalestineAction has been vv extensively reported. I posted lots here as it happened, mostly with #DefendOurJuries.
The graph was first posted at https://x.com/LeftieStats/status/1964683883305398514. That is a very reliable source.
The source is cited only as #HomeOffice, but appears to be https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/operation-of-police-powers-under-tact-2000-to-december-2025/operation-of-police-powers-under-the-terrorism-act-2000-and-subsequent-legislation-arrests-outcomes-and-stop-and-search-great-britain-quarterly-u

Two screenshots attached from that link: the title page, snd a key passage.
Hope this helps.

The way they used the Suffragettes to justify banning Palestine Action is quite obscene as well...

“We are disappointed about this judgment and believe this proscription is a disproportionate use of counter-terror powers.
“This judgment risks paving the way for current and future governments to use counter terror powers against non-terrorist groups, as we have seen in other countries to silence activists, minorities and opponents." - Liberty director Akiko Hart

If we have a problem with this ruling, are we all terrorists now too?
How come fascist gangs aren't called 'Terrorists', but 'Protestors' instead?
Do they think we're just going to shut up and accept this like abused children?#PalestineAction #DefendOurJuries #Terrorism #UKPol #UKPolitics #UN #Protest #HumanRights

Jurors convicted the previously acquitted activists of criminal damage in a rigged retrial presided over by a biased pro-genocide puppet judge who hid relevant details of the case from the jurors.
After the verdict, the judge unilaterally upgraded the criminal damage charges to terrorism, blindsiding the jury and making it the first time in U.K. history that criminal damage charges have been treated as terrorism

"Käyhkö said the trial against the activist is part of an “effort by the British government to broaden and intensify the use of counterterrorism legislation against political movements in recent years, particularly evident in the proscription of Palestine Action.”"

Britain is systematically incarcerating more & more climate & anti-genocide activists.
"Custodial sentences for acts of direct action or civil disobedience were once rare but are now being imposed with increasing length & frequency."
The real danger is that people are being criminalised for breaching what "is essentially a civil injunction".

"This is the first time in legal history that a barrister was facing such a prosecution over a closing speech in a criminal trial, and the procedure being used was without precedent.
Today’s judgment rules that Mr Justice Johnson was wrong to refer the alleged contempt to the High Court, and the Divisional Court would have had no jurisdiction over the case after such a referral."

In April 24, Trudi Warner, a retired social worker, stood outside Inner London Crown Court holding a sign that read:
"Jurors, you have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience"She was arrested for "intimidation of a jury" but at trial Mr. Justice Saini ruled in her favour, saying she was only stating the law outside a courthouse, and that can not be illegal
She was arrested again last week for doing exactly the same thing as were many others

In 2017 #Lammy published the Lammy Review as to how BAME ppl were treated by the CPS. One of its major concerns was the lack of black & brown people in the judiciary and, how that number has not changed over time, that, & the time in 2023 when he backed calls for compulsory anti-racist training are primary indicators that the reduction in jury trials WILL disproportionately affect minorities, badly
The nonsense he says today he condemned yesterday 🙄
