The global sumud flotilla, which is sailing to break Israels siege of Gaza, has been attacked while in Tunisian waters.

Yesterday the President (Michele Burman) and Executive Board of the European Society of Criminology brought the society into disrepute by refusing to allow a vote on collaboration with Israeli academic institutions complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Statement by Criminologists for Palestine:

ESC General Assembly shows overwhelming support for motion; ESC Board denies vote

We, Criminologists for Palestine, are writing to express our profound shock at the decision of the European Society of Criminology (ESC) Executive Board to openly subvert the democratic will of its…

Remember all that fulminating in the billionaire press about "free speech" (ie their freedom to abuse Muslims, trans people etc with impunity)? Now that people are being arrested for speaking about an issue of the utmost gravity, the self-appointed guardians of liberty have fallen strangely silent.

It's utterly mad. These people are the opposite of terrorists. THEY WANT PEACE. The police know they're not terrorists. The government knows they're not terrorists. Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
