@debcoles13.bsky.social “These new measures undermine the rule of law & the way it applies to police officers, increasing impunity & injustice. All the evidence shows that what is needed is exactly the opposite" @bschcnetwork.bsky.social @waylon18.bsky.social mailchi.mp/inquest/chri...

Paramilitary backed far-right, white supremacist violence, intimidation and pogroms in East Belfast have impacted thousands with no political attention or strategy to end it. Only silence and the handing down of impunity. Who does the state protect?

The cross-over of climate change lowering water levels, + pollution. If you've already got phosphate, ammonia or other chemical pollution in the water, they become even more concentrated as water levels decrease. Oxygen low, ammonia high is a really desperate situation for fish.

On Wednesday the lawyers representing those targeted by spycops get to speak, starting with Imran Khan KC, on behalf of the Blacklist Support Group, Doreen Lawrence, Suresh Grover and Michael Mansfield KC. Followed by lawyers from more non-state core participants.

Finally, blacklisted union members, the Lawrence family, Sukhdev Reel, women activists spied on by the police, & the undercover police deployed during the late 1990s and early 2000s will all be giving evidence during this tranche of the inquiry @blcklstd.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNcg...

Another excellent @europeangroup.bsky.social conference this year in Malmö: programme packed with critical and radical voices and clear commitment in support of Palestine. Grateful for the kind and attentive audience listening to my and @dinesson.bsky.social's paper on zemiology of counterterrorism

It was such an incredible pleasure to see you all at the Group’s conference in Malmö. A true abolitionist earthquake, a space to flourish, think, organise, conspire and act against the global punitive culture! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

After the board denied the set up of a working group on digital criminology because they consider it too similar to cybercrime, they now respond in a very defensive and concerning way to the request to have a democratic vote on motion below. I think it’s time for some self-reflection within the ESC.

The state is determined to follow through on prosecuting people for showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action. Sixty-four people were formally notified of charges today and are due to appear in court in October.

A very distressing C4 report tonight on pregnant women prisoners being handcuffed during childbirth, despite it being against MoJ policy. Those policies aren’t worth the paper they’re written on — the only way to keep pregnant women safe is to stop sending them to prison.

ESC colleagues: petition & important vote at the General Assembly. If not boycotting, vote. Or a 3rd option: use presentation time to discuss complicity and promote attendance at the GE? I'm scheduled to present on asylum seekers & everyday resistance. It would be unethical if I didn't resist too

Nice one Amy, spot on
