Palestine

It had been practically unheard of in the UK for nearly 100 years, then new legislation changed everything. Here, prisoners including Kamran Ahmed, 27, and Qesser Zuhrah, 20 – who have been on hunger strike for 25 and 34 days respectively – share their experiences.

According to rally organisers Defend Our Juries, at least 500 people are set to arrive at Westminster on Saturday in support of Palestine Action – which could get them arrested. Who are these two groups and how are they related?

For a while, the fastest route to popularity on the political right was to decry the lack of free speech in Britain. Now, the effort has shifted to criminalising pro-Palestine protests.

Guess who’s back on the news…

On Tuesday, we spoke to students in New York about why they’re demonstrating. Hours later, officers in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters.

Last Saturday, hundreds of thousands of protesters marched across London, from Marble Arch to the US embassy, to call for a ceasefire – something Keir Starmer has refused to do. What will it cost him?
