"On 27 March, some 20 police officers burst in on a group of young women at a Quaker’s meeting house in central London and arrested them on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
The women were activists who had gathered for an open meeting of Youth Demand, a pro-Palestine and climate justice movement demanding an end to UK government arms sales to Israel and new fossil fuel licensing. The group emerged in the aftermath of Israel’s war on Gaza, which began in October 2023."
When british cops are imprisoning groups of youth females in a pacifist group who havent yet done a single thing wrong, maybe they need to look at themselves in the mirror. of course, when it comes to supporting zionism, any level of repression is tolerated.
