@FranceskAlbs It's extraordinary how vilified you are for speaking up for the people you're tasked to represent in your role – & for the rules-based system we should all value & protect. Stay strong, @FranceskAlbs.

We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies. Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.

Finally, my book "Quando il Mondo Dorme" (Rizzoli, 2025)- which became a bestseller in Italy & has been translated in over 15 languages already - will be available in English soon. My voice on Palestine will continue to travel far and wide.

Hunger strike pause: resistance continues After weeks of sustained resistance, Jon, Amu and Qesser have announced a pause in their hunger strike. This pause is not a retreat. It is a decision rooted in political resolve. The responsibility now lies with the UK government to meet the prisoners’ demands. Alongside their original demands, the hunger strikers now call for: • An end to all Non-Association Orders • Access to activities and educational courses • The immediate transfer of Heba to HMP Bronzefield If demands are not met, the three prisoners will return stronger and more determined.

Nearly 50 MPs have now backed the parliamentary motion calling on the Justice Secretary to engage with the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Now one of those, Qesser Zuhrah, has been hospitalised. David Lammy needs to stop ignoring the call from MPs and urgently engage in this.

I wrote to David Lammy again this week because what’s happening to Palestine Action prisoners is indefensible. They are now on day 41 of a life-threatening hunger strike. Five have already been hospitalised. They’ve lost dangerous amounts of weight, face organ failure and the risk of imminent death. They must be granted immediate bail.

Qesser Zuhrah Hunger striker, HMP Bronzefield On remand since November 19th 2024 Trial date: April 2026 @DavidLammy don’t hide: Qesser’s life is in danger. You are the Justice Secretary and this is happening on your watch Read Qesser’s statement here: prisonersforpalestine.org/prisoner/state…

The government is letting the hunger strikers die. This is a national scandal - and should be on the front-page of every newspaper in Britain. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/govern…

Sick country. Sick world

The situation for the Palestine Action hunger strikers is urgent. They've gone weeks without food and several have been hospitalised. None of them have been convicted of a crime. Are David Lammy's hands not covered in enough blood already? The government must act now.

We’ve cancelled our Paramount subscription. Reports suggest the company’s new CEO David Ellison may be punishing actors who spoke out against the genocide in Gaza.
