Scottish Government ‘doesn’t know’ if US military is using Scottish airports in strikes on Iran: www.thenational.scot/.../25903887... Our 'government's' lack of knowledge about this confirms Scotland's colonial position and its complete subordination to the UK political & military establishment.

As the UK offers airbase support to the latest US-Israel illegal war, Scots should remember that the 'UK' is a fake state that subordinates Scots to its own political/military establishment exposing us to decisions that violate our sovereignty and national interest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_X2...

Scotland has all the characteristics and features of a colonial entity🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 And our so-called 'nationalist' MPs at Westminster and our 'nationalist' administration at Holyrood seem unaware of this obvious fact ! Read Prof Alf Baird: youtu.be/4fwSyiJ_6Pc?...

Our CoR is a crucial part of Scots law that predates the EHCR and provides key rights incl. protection against malicious prosecution and rights to full restitution. Scots enjoyed CoR provisions long before the ECHR. It's heartbreaking that Scottish politicians and lawyers do not know this already !

Prof Alf Baird on Anas Sarwar’s ‘intervention’ this week into UK politics. Highlights the reality of Scotland’s powerlessness in the face of our colonial subordination to the Westminster administering power (& its Holyrood annex) and the fiction of equal partnership within a fake treaty and union.

RichardJMurphy on Debate Night on Scotland's colonial status. ‘‘Independence isn’t going to happen yet. Because Labour and the Tories are united in their desire to retain Scotland as a colony” x.com/J4m35c4mpb3l... Richard is 100% right on this, of course.

England functions today by reducing Scotland to a battery, drained to sustain another state. Yet England holds no legal title to Scotland’s land, resources, wealth or energy, and no lawful authority, mandate or consent, to extract them. This 300 year old colonial condition is illegal annexation.

Prof Alf Baird explainer re ongoing theft of Scotland’s energy resources by our London colonial administration (worth £60-100+ Billion PER ANNUM) piped & cabled south free to England. While >20% of Scots kids live in poverty & Scots pay higher energy bills than most www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppb5...

‘mainstream Scottish nationalism continues to disavow national sovereignty in search of Scotland’s place among the institutions of globalised neoliberalism. The result is the subordination of Scotland’s economy, democracy and now our territory’. Time to use our CoR ! www.conter.scot/2026/2/3/the...

Court Grants Review Palestine Action Ban in Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 Case goes to the heart of whether English Law applies in Scotland!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Check out this video from The Scotland Channel - which is on a mission to present unfiltered Scottish news - and they're doing an amazing job: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3g...

Link to Scotland's CoR Act - passed by the Convention of Estates in April 1989, and included as Art. XXV of the Acts of Union. The people of Scotland are entitled to its rights and protections and the CoR is entitled to the proper consideration of the courts. www.legislation.gov.uk/aosp/1689/28...

The 1689 Claim of Right underpins Scots Common Law and provides a distinctly Scottish authority for the human rights protections afforded by the ECHR and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The people of Scotland were guaranteed, as a condition of Union, that our CoR would be preserved.

Details of National article attached - this is good news! Craig Murray’s affidavit references Scotland's Claim of Right, a very specific law within which makes the prohibition of peaceful protest by means of stretched or frivolous law, particularly on matters of conscience, unlawful in Scotland.

As reported today by The National, the case taken by Craig Murray to challenge the proscription of Palestine Action in Scotland (under Scotland’s Claim of Right) has secured a significant victory in the Scottish Court of Session - with Judicial Review in March. www.thenational.scot/news/2580004...

LIBERATION SCOTLAND INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE JAN. 2026. Our 2026 campaign will extend LS's profile & diplomacy outreach with allies across the international community. The emergence of new geopolitical uncertainties makes Scotland's engagement to build strong alliances more urgent then ever.

Liberation Scotland / Salvo members also in attendance at the Court of Session, Edinburgh this morning to support Craig Murray's hearing and Scotland's Claim of Right.

Former British diplomat Craig Murray's legal challenge seeks judicial review under Scots law of UK Gov. decision to proscribe Palestine Action (making being a member of, or expressing support for, that group, a terror offence). From today's Court of Session hearing www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O5K...

Tomorrow's hearing on Craig Murray's judicial review of the Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2025 will be heard in the Court of Session at 0900. For those who cannot attend, it is available to watch proceedings online: www.scotcourts.gov.uk/livestream/?...

Due to the public interest in Monday’s Judicial Review, it will be held in Court 1 of Edinburgh’s Court of Session. This has a public gallery for 72 people. So come and hear Joanna Cherry KC defend Scotland’s Claim of Right against attack by our colonising administrative power. Tomorrow 9am.

Why do more than half of Scots support independence today? Scotland has all the recognised features of a colonised territory. Liberation Scotland are lobbying the UN to commence the process of decolonisation of Scotland. Please support the decolonisation and liberation of Scotland: liberation.scot

Details about Scotland's Claim of Right and it’s importance to Scotland’s modern constitution are set out on Salvo’s website: salvo.scot/why-the-clai... Join us at 9am Monday 12 January at the Court of Session in Parliament Square, Edinburgh. (NOTE: not the Sheriff Court as previously advertised)!

UK Gov is challenging Craig Murray’s judicial review of its proscription of Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act, on 12 Jan. arguing that the matter will be decided in an English Court and also apply in Scotland. It is time to remind Scots that Westminster is not the source of law in Scotland.

We will provide regular updates here about LS's UN and wider international campaign here, during 2026. And for those still unsure of Scotland's present colonial condition, this brief article may assist (with thanks to Prof. Alf Baird): yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2021/07/18/d...

Bliadhna mhath ùr / A guid new year to ane an a’ / Happy New Year ! - to the many thousands of LS / Salvo members and supporters in Scotland & abroad. Our campaign for international recognition of Scotland as a Non Self-Governing Territory (NSGT) and colony / annex of England continues in 2026 !

LS terminated its 6 month contract with consultancy JPTI in late October (refer: liberation.scot/coms/Novembe...). We are now engaging directly with the UN C24 Decolonisation Committee - using our network of contacts with member state reps established during our Geneva & NYC meetings this year.

The Scottish Parliament matters — it proves self-governance is possible. Maybe independence won’t come from within an extension of Westminster that limited it in the first place. Decolonisation asks: what if sovereignty begins outside the walls of government, in how we think and imagine ourselves?

Listen to Sara Salyers, Craig Murray and Christophe Dorignee-Thompson discuss the recent attendance by a Liberation Scotland delegation - incl Prof. Alf Baird - at the United Nations 4th Committee (Special Political and Decolonisation Committee) at UN HQ 5-14 October. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tfZ...

If a former Portuguese colony of just more than half a million people scattered across an archipelago of Atlantic islands, can be independent, why not Scotland?

"Last Thursday at the UN, my heart was full and the emotion so overwhelming that I could hardly speak. To be not only among my ain folk but also among so many courageous activists for the same cause pulls so strongly at my heart strings. Thank you all for including me in that important day."

Details of last week's landmark event at the UN offices in Geneva, examining Scotland’s right to self-determination under international law, including scripts of all speeches. The session was moderated by Mr Jun Ho, CEO of IPLSA. www.jpti.ch/post/scotlan...

Yesterday in Geneva something occurred that the British State thought for 300 years would never happen. For the first time ever an audience of international delegates heard the truth about Scotland's true status as colony (as defined by the UN) misrepresented as a 'voluntary partnership' by the UK.

Today, we are in Geneva to make the case that Scotland qualifies as a colony under international law and should be recognised as a Non-Self-Governing Territory. If you could speak at the #UN today, what would you say? #LiberationGeneva25 #UNGeneva #ScottishIndependence

We have taken Scotland’s case for self-determination to the world stage. Now we must confront the deeper question: who truly benefits from Scotland’s continued union with England? This is no longer just a constitutional debate — it’s about liberation, sovereignty, and future generations.

We are in Geneva this week, to call on the UN to recognise Scotland as a colony. This bold move that we have been working on, could rewrite our path to independence and finally take our future out of Westminster’s hands. #ScottishIndependence #SelfDetermination #decolonisescotland #UNGeneva #UN

Historic Announcement from Sara Salyers yesterday: tinyurl.com/27f5dhkq Liberation Scotland's sister organisation Salvo, is taking a legal challenge to Scotland's supreme court under the Claim of Right, to stop the UK Government outlawing non-violent protest against the current genocide in Gaza.

An event of historic importance to all Scots takes place in Geneva this month. For the first time in its history, the UN is hosting leading legal and constitutional experts to examine the legal and procedural routes to advance Scotland’s right to self-determination under existing international law.

One of the (many) colonial markers of 21C Scotland is the displacement of Scots teachers and academics from our own schools and universities. Less than 15% of those in our ancient universities are Scots - clear cultural imperialism / colonisation! grousebeater.wordpress.com/2025/08/09/a...

Today is 'GERS day' 😬. Worth remembering that its sole purpose is to gaslight Scots into believing that we inhabit a poor nation dependent on England, whereas the reverse is true. Our prosperous near neighbours - the Irish, Danes, Icelanders and Norwegians - inhabit no such colonial fantasy !
