Arresting Librarians AND Booksellers in the United States

History has shown that arresting librarians and booksellers has never led to greater freedom or liberty.

Israël intensifie ses frappes sur Gaza et réaffirme qu’il ne s’en retirera pas avant le désarmement complet du Hamas

Depuis l’annonce par Donald Trump, le 30 juillet, d’un plan qui prévoit un retrait des troupes israéliennes de l’enclave s’accompagnant de la collecte de l’arsenal du mouvement palestinien, l’Etat hébreu dresse ses lignes rouges et soulève ses objections.

Just got from driving around Northern Europe and back in Blughty, and f**k me, the Uks infrastructure is dire AF. It’s approaching US levels… Who’d have thought a sensible attitude to tax and infrastructure spending wouldn’t lead to good results.

One soldier's concerns about soldiers’ survival in the drone-dominated combat of the future initially led him to start tinkering with electronics he bought online. Now, he's putting the finishing touches on a drone detector that soldiers can wear like protective gear. Learn more:

This declaration on Ceuta and Melilla in Spain's Schengen accession treaty is now reaffirmed in the Schengen Borders Code BTW eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016...

Here are those special rules on Ceuta and Melilla as regards Schengen - dating back to Spain acceding to the Schengen Convention eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...

I interviewed several people who have been arrested. All said they knew the consequences of holding the signs and wanted to make a mockery of what they feel is a ridiculous and unjust law Their cases are currently in limbo pending the Supreme Court's ruling on the lawfulness of the ban

The extraordinary figures are a result of a protest campaign involving holding signs that breach s13 of the Terrorism Act 2000 by displaying support for a proscribed group The protests were not anticipated when the ban was being considered, as a Counter Terrorism Policing report I obtained showed

A Home Office report said Palestine Action-related arrests had caused a demographic shift in terror suspects, making them more likely to be white, British and female, and with a “considerably altered age profile” The average terror suspect is now a white Brit in late 50s, with an even gender split

The number of terror-related arrests in Britain has risen 1,200% a year following the ban of Palestine Action The number of people arrested for holding signs - under a law originally designed for IRA uniforms - is higher than total terror arrests over the previous decade inews.co.uk/news/retired...

How retired teachers, nurses and vicars became Britain's newest terror suspects

Majority of suspects arrested for holding signs reading 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' at protests against the ban

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
