London's #MetPol #MetropolitanPolice continues its heroic crackdown on the new ‘crime’ of supporting #intifada against #Israel’s war crimes and #genocide. In England, nonviolent opposition to illegality is now "#hateCrime".
#PeterTatchell was arrested today for carrying an 'illegal' #GlobaliseTheIntafada banner. The brave cops are keeping London safe from a 74yo man promoting #nonviolence and opposing the illegal occupation of the #WestBank and #Gaza.

The statement comes from #Metropolitan #PoliceCommissioner #MarkRowley after #gayrights #activist #PeterTatchell launched a #campaign calling for all #British #policedepartments to #apologize for “past #homophobic #witchhunts,” which continued long after #Britain #decriminalized #private #sexual #acts between #men in 1967.
— It's a good start now they need to prove they really meant it.

#PeterTatchell has penned a #letter to #WestMidlands #Police, calling for an #apology for their #history of #homophobic ‘#witchhunts’.
According to Tatchell, before the full #decriminalisation of #homosexuality in 2003, the police in West Midlands targeted and arrested thousands of #gay and #bisexual #men for #consensual and victimless behavior.
