Words of NSW Police Deputy Commissioner #DavidHudson, 4th July 2025, spoken under oath during a NSW parliamentary inquiry:
“We can’t prevent the free movement of people throughout the city just because you’re in a protest. You can walk down the street, the footpath. Bearing in mind, at that particular protest at the town hall, there were a lot of women, children [and] women pushing prams. It’s not like we were going to put walls up and start boxing on with these people who have a right to protest.”
How things change in 7 months.
That's precisely what NSW police did last night at Sydney Town Hall, to another protest with people from all walks of life (including kids in strollers)—walls were put up, and police did indeed start 'boxing on', even if someone is backing away with their hands up, or kneeling on the ground in prayer, or already pinned to the ground with a knee in their back, or part of a large crowd kettled & unable to disperse (while police charge with pepper spray & horses, yelling "disperse or be arrested").
And the point at which the police first charged? Very soon after rally organiser #JoshLees had begun using a megaphone to encourage people to disperse (not that we could, due to police kettle in place).

Chris Minns, NSW Premier: "for the sake of Social Cohesion™, we're inviting a wanted war criminal from a rogue state to visit, granting police extraordinary emergency powers to forcefully suppress the expression of non-approved messages in non-approved locations, and installing extra Social Cohesion™ fences and barriers in the middle of the city. In order to ensure maximum Social Cohesion™ please don't come into the city, and if you do, then disobeying the instructions of one of the 3,000 Social Cohesion™ officers will result in a $5,000 fine. This is for your own good. You will cohere, or else."

#PalestineAction defendants acquitted of aggravated burglary over arms factory raid
After eight days of deliberations, defendants were acquitted, or not convicted, of all offences levelled against them
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/breaking-palestine-action-defendants-acquitted-aggravated-burglaryfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
4 February 2026 12:40 GMTDuring the trial, the prosecution alleged that the six defendants entered the factory with sledgehammers, intending, if needed, to injure and incapacitate security guards.
But the defendants disputed that the sledgehammers were “weapons of offence”, and insisted they were intended only to damage property.
As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept.
The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard #UK custodial time limits.

CW: A note to non-Australians about Australia Day, 26 January
@futzle Every year, the 26th January sees Invasion Day protest marches and other events mourning genocide and dispossession, celebrating the survival of many of the oldest continuous cultures in the world, and expressing ongoing resistance led by local Indigenous peoples across the continent.
In Gadi (Sydney), most years see tens of thousands of people march from the city to the Yabun festival in Vic Park.
This year will be especially important, given the NSW government's efforts to suppress protest in the name of 'social cohesion' (because denying people a voice has always turned out really well for long-term cohesion, right?). Organisers are planning to march, even if the government extends the anti-protest laws for another two weeks. The more people show up, the less likely it is that the authorities decide to cause trouble.

University of #Michigan Regents Who Led the Charge Against Pro-#Palestine Protestors Are Now Backing Prosecutor Karen McDonald’s Candidacy for State Attorney
Like Dana Nessel before her, McDonald has received huge backing from Pro-Israel organizations, GOP contributors, and corporate donors.https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/university-of-michigan-regents-who
from #DropSiteNews
Dec 19, 2025Last year, the pro-#Israel regents of #UniversityOfMichigan (U-M) ignited controversy by recruiting State Attorney Gen. #DanaNessel to crack down on campus #Gaza protesters. Now, members of U-M’s Board of Regents are making large donations to Oakland Cty. Prosecutor Karen McDonald, a candidate who may replace Nessel.
McDonald is the prosecutor in a wealthy suburban county north of Detroit. She also received the highest level of corporate donations from the state’s largest businesses and executives, and is viewed as the establishment choice to replace #Nessel.

'Dark turn of events': Met Police under fire for #intifada chant arrests
Social media users say the decision is discriminatory and violates the right to free speech
https://www.middleeasteye.net/trending/met-police-under-fire-intifada-arrests
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
By Hannah. Smith
Published date: 18 December 2025 15:40 GMTAt a protest outside the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday, four people were arrested for “racially aggravated public order offences” for their use of the Arabic word “intifada”, meaning uprising.
The move comes in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney on Sunday, in which two gunmen targeted a Hanukkah event, killing at least 15 people.
Several public figures have sought to link the shootings to Palestine activism, specifically referencing the chant.

NSPM-7: Project Esther in Overdrive
from #TheVoiceMemo
by Stefanie Fox [Executive Director of #JVP #JewishVoiceForPeace in #USA]
Oct 20, 2025One year ago, the Heritage Foundation released #ProjectEsther, which is best understood as an addendum to #Project2025. It was released quietly, but with ambitious tactics; it contains everything needed to defame, defund, and ultimately dismantle groups like JVP “within 12-24 months.” This is the #Trump administration’s blueprint to destroy civil society, starting with attacking Palestine solidarity.
Twelve months in, and they are well underway, judging by the giant stack of paperwork on my desk from JVP’s lawyers laying out the active lawsuits brought against our organization from Trump-aligned law firms and government requests for information...

#UK Home Office loses bid to block #Palestine Action from challenging ban as terror group
The British government lodged its appeal after Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori successfully won a judicial review to overturn its banfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Published date: 17 October 2025 12:44 BST
last update: 1015 EDTThe Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed the government's attempt to stop the judicial review of its decision to ban the group.
During the judgement, 4 judges, including the Lady Chief Justice, also granted #PalestineAction's co-founder, Huda Ammori, two further grounds to challenge the ban, that were previously rejected.
These grounds include that the Home Secretary, at the time, failed to consider relevant information or/and considered irrelevant information, and that she failed to follow her published policy "which prescribes that certain factors may be taken into account".

Palestinian student #MohsenMahdawi returns to Columbia University: ‘They have failed to silence me’
Mahdawi was targeted and arrested for deportation due to his activism but the permanent US resident is resuming postgraduate studies
Anna Betts
Tue 2 Sep 2025 16.33 ETMohsen Mahdawi, the 34-year-old #Palestinian student and #US permanent resident, returned to #ColumbiaUniversity on Tuesday and vowed to continue speaking out.
“They have failed to silence me, and in fact, now I am more outspoken than before, and I will continue to work for peace and justice. I do this work not for myself alone – I do this for the future of children, whether they are Palestinians or #Israelis,” he told the Guardian on Tuesday in his first interview since stepping back on to campus to begin his graduate studies.

New Trump Order Among 'Scariest Things I've Seen in US Politics,' Civil Rights Attorney Says
The new order, he says, would essentially allow "random fascist vigilantes" to "sign up to be a Brownshirt" for Trump's militarized occupation forces.
from #CommonDreams
Stephen Prager
Aug 26, 2025...it orders the secretary to create a "standing #NationalGuard quick reaction force" that "can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate," not just in the nation's capital but in "other cities where public safety and order has been lost."
Monday's order calls for the creation of "an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience." Agency heads then "shall each deputize the members of this unit to enforce federal law."

If you want to protest in UK against a government that outlawed the pacifist organization "Palestine Action" with the anti-terrorism law, here is a plan for you:1) Print the T-Shirt of the image below
2) Make a trip to UK
3) Wear the shirt at a public rally
4) Get unduly arrested under terrorism act for speaking the truth as nonviolent resistance against the authoritarian nature of regimes supporting ongoing genocide.@[email protected] @gubi

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump
Rashid Khalidifrom #TheGuardian #Guardian
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDTColumbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

Prominent historian cancels course at Columbia University over Trump deal
#RashidKhalidi, in open letter published by #Guardian, accuses university of ‘capitulating’ with $200m settlement
from #TheGuardian
Dani Anguiano
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDT“Although I have retired, I was scheduled to teach a large lecture course on this topic in the fall as a “special lecturer” but I cannot do so under the conditions #Columbia has accepted by capitulating to the #Trump administration in June,” Khalidi wrote.
Columbia announced last week that it would pay more than $200m in a settlement with the federal government after the White House claimed the university failed to adequately address alleged antisemitism on campus amid protests over the #Israel-#Gaza war, and threatened to pull significant funding.

Amnesty International: Five Ways Our #RightToProtest is Being Threatened Around the World
by James Duggan, October 5, 2022
"All around the world, right now, peaceful protestors are being imprisoned, threatened, and face physical violence from authorities. Even at home, in #Australia, our right to stand up and speak out against injustice is being taken away. Now more than ever, it’s essential we continue to fight for our #HumanRights.
"The right to protest is a fundamental human right. #Article20 of the #UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights states that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The right to protest is a way for people to defend their human rights and the rights of others when they’re threatened by governments and authorities.
"Here are five places where the right to protest is currently at threat:
1. #Australia
"Right here in Australia, governments and authorities are adopting an increasingly punitive attitude towards protestors. In 2020, peaceful protestors at a #BlackLivesMatter rally in #Sydney were met with excessive and unnecessary force from #NewSouthWales Police. Police used pepper spray and chased student protestors on horseback at the University of New South Wales, and pushed them to the ground. Both protestors and bystanders were injured in the process.
"The following year, in November 2021, a #ClimateActivist was sentenced to 12 months in jail after he climbed atop a #coal train and stayed on it for five hours to protest Australia’s #climate policies. Twenty-eight other people belonging to the same activist group were also arrested in NSW that month.
"In 2022, the NSW Government announced that disrupting any bridge or tunnel in Greater Sydney as part of a protest would result in individual fines of $22,000. This is a ten-fold increase from the previous penalty of $2,200. The NSW Government also plans to introduce legislation which would mean this $22,000 fine would also apply to protestors disrupting roads and public transport facilities.
2. #HongKong
"In June 2020, a new law came into effect in Hong Kong, referred to as the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL). What “national security” refers to in this law isn’t well defined, and the NSL has been applied arbitrarily at the discretion of the government and authorities to suppress #dissent and political opposition.
"In September 2021, a human rights lawyer named #ChowHangTung was arrested under this law and charged with 'inciting subversion.' She faces up to ten years in prison for peacefully commemorating the 1989 #Tiananmen Square protest crackdown. During the 1989 crackdown, an undisclosed number of people, anywhere from hundreds to thousands, were killed by authorities for gathering to protest the government’s censorship laws. At least three other activists were arrested along with Chow Hang-tung in relation to the peaceful memorial of these victims.
3. #Cambodia
"In May 2021, three young activists belonging to a Cambodian environmental campaign group called #MotherNatureCambodia were convicted to between 18 and 20 months in prison. They were arrested after they announced a plan to undertake a two-person march to the #Cambodian prime minister’s house in order to express their concerns regarding plans to privatise and develop the largest remaining #lake in the country’s capital city. They were charged with 'incitement to commit a felony or disturb social order.'
"Mother Nature Cambodia have won several major #environmental victories in Cambodia. In 2016, their efforts to expose widespread environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to the #mining and export of #sand from coastal areas of Cambodia resulted in a total export ban on #CoastalSand from the country. As a result, the group have been targeted with harassment and repression from the Cambodian government. Multiple other activists have been charged with 'incitement,' and the group has been accused of 'causing chaos in society' and labelled 'illegal' because they’re not registered under the country’s restrictive NGO Law.
4. #Russia
"The right to protest in Russia has been severely compromised since 2004, when the Federal Law on Assemblies, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Pickets was passed. The Law on Assemblies restricts who’s allowed to organise a protest and where the protest is allowed to be held, and subjects planned protests to a strict authorisation process that often results in permission being denied.
"Since 2004, legislation has been tightened numerous times. Most recently, the Russian government introduced new, heavy penalties for anyone who protests Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine. Less than three weeks after the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, almost 15,000 peaceful protestors had been arrested. #RussianAuthorities have arrested bystanders of protests and even children. Police have used excessive force against peaceful protestors, including women, subjecting them to beatings and electrocution with stun guns.
5. #India
"In India, draconian laws such as 'the crime of sedition' have been repeatedly used against peaceful protestors, journalists and human rights defenders. The slow investigative processes and strict bail conditions under these laws mean that activists and others who speak out against injustice in their country may spend many years behind bars while their trial is ongoing.
"In 2021, a 22-year-old #EnvironmentalActivist named #DishaRavi was charged with '#sedition' for sharing an online Google document that was originally tweeted by #GretaThunberg. The document was a basic 'toolkit' for #farmers in India who were then in the midst of protests against the Indian government over newly introduced agricultural legislation. The 'toolkit' included information on the protests and how to support the movement, both in person and online. Disha is a leader of India’s #FridaysForFuture movement, an international student environmentalist movement instigated by Greta Thunberg.
