Each year, an average of 1,088 people are convicted under Joint Enterprise, costing taxpayers a staggering £1.2 billion in future punishment.
We're told our prisons are overcrowded & we need to free up space – so why isn’t JE reform on the table? It’s time for real change.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
Bafta and Oscar winning : BEST DOCUMENTARY.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.
In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?
Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.
This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.
So buzzing for Ishy! Cannot think of a better person for this job!!! Yes Ishy! Over the moon for you 💗💗💗

One year ago today these children begged the world for help and the world ignored them. I'll never, ever get over the shame of it.

To put it into context, during the last 30 years, over 1,500 people have died in the UK while in custody, but not one police officer has been successfully prosecuted for any of those deaths.

Hundreds of thousands are dead in Palestine and our press keeps pretending the number is magically stuck around 40k while Palestine is flattened. That reality alone speaks to how our media isn't just useless, they're complicit.
Drone versus stick is such a metaphor for this so called ‘war’ (high grade military genocide)
Only the vilest cowards “fight” like this. And despite such precise and chilling weaponry the world order continue to bare face lie that extermination of all Palestinians is the only way the IOF can kill their targets. Cowards liars scum

What a front page … horrific and ongoing, the atrocities only growing, Israel emboldened by US and UK’s support for their genocide. Respect to the Independent for recognising what Oct 7th stands for

Shame on everyone in the West who supports this, who enables this, who ignores this, who downplays this.

This is Beirut now. Just like the West Bank a few hours ago. Just like Gaza every night.
This is not “counterterrorism”
This is not “self defence”
This is colonial violence, done across the Middle East with the support of western governments, and should be called out as such.

The whole city shook in terror… We just felt it in every home in #Beirut.
Just imagine… imagine for a second this happening to your city... your home!
