The Hunger Strikers are at risk of death. Meanwhile, there has been a disturbing lack of mainstream coverage, as this callous and deceptive Labour government refuse to do the bare minimum. This is the largest coordinated hunger strike in UK prisons since 1981 and MPs are literally laughing. For shame! It is up to us to get organised. Those of us in the movement have warned that if our governments can be complicit in a g3n0c1d3 in P@135t1ne, then we will be next. Herein lies the proof. Nothing exists in isolation. This is state sanctioned murder. If our governments can let people of conscience die of hunger whilst being held indefinitely in prison without trial or conviction, then this is about our freedoms at home as much as it is about global systems of oppression including P@135t1ne. Last week White Kite Collective presented Parallel Time: testimonies and poetry in honour of Palestinian prisoners and in support of the Filton 24 & the Hunger Strikers at Woolwich Crown Court. Twelve of the Filton 24 had their hearings and @pymbritain @da3m.support @freefilton24 @booksagainstborders led urgent mobilisations. It’s an honour to stand with them and their families until freedom. Here is a short film of Parallel Time by @decolonialdaughter Show up today - December 19th - for Fridays for the Filton 24 at Woolwich Crown Court. Bring your people. This moment calls on us all. Amplify the call of eight actionists - Amu Gib, Qesser Zuhrah, Teuta Hoxa, Kamran Ahmed, Jon Cink, Heba Muraisi, Umer Khalid, Lewie Chiaramello - and escalate. Their lives literally depend on it. Their demands: End all censorship Immediate bail Right to a fair trial Deproscribe Shut Elbit down Readings by: @nozlozhoz94 @_zainab_hasan Saeed Taji Farouky @normaacohen @fionn_o_fada_loingsigh Ruth Lass @taghridchoucairvizoso @decolonialdaughter @lalailaalj @soulful_si_london @airbyart Zia Ahmed Omar Bynon Joined by @lisaminervaluxx and @freethefilton24 Zoe Roger’s Mother @subversivite and Fatema Zainab Rajwani Mother @sooki_123 📹 @decolonialdaughter
