The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

“I can’t believe it’s finally happened and Alaa has made it to London. We thought it was impossible, but here he is. Hundreds of people around the world did so much to help bring this moment about. Alaa is free and we can finally begin to heal as a family.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Human rights were built for hard times, not rewrites when it suits the Government. Pushing to water down the European Convention on Human Rights on International Human Rights Day is a moral retreat, not a solution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1500 people have been arrested under terrorism laws in the UK- for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. The chief prosecutors must now decide whether to prosecute them. We need to urge them not to. Add your name to the letter. www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

@amnestyealing.bsky.social marched with the thousands opposing the national fascist rally. Sad to see UK flag misused to represent swastika values of selfishness, ignorance, prejudice, bullying and cruelty. British values were tolerance, fair play, solidarity and supporting the underdog.

🚨 MARCHING UNITED 🚨 In Central London, thousands are marching united against racism, the far right, and division. ✊ Last summer, a national tragedy was twisted to stoke Islamophobic and racist fear. A year on, racist intimidation continues.

Instead of taking draconian measures to shut down direct action protesters and criminalise anyone who expresses support for their actions, the Government should be taking immediate and unequivocal action to put a stop to Israel’s genocide and end any risk of UK complicity in it. ➡️ amn.st/61824lqzo

The challenges we face are grave, but with courage, determination and defiance our movement must, and will, prevail.

The UK government is targeting protestors for speaking out for Palestinian rights. The Secretary General of @amnesty.org, Agnes Callamard, spoke about the UK’s repressive measures at Amplify – Amnesty UK’s National Conference.
