The New Dark Age

Even before the ban on Palestine Action came into force on 4 July, police intimidation and repression of Palestine activism was increasing. 

Reports of police raids, surveillance and harassment from police have left many people feeling uncertain and scared. WIth reports of police officers raiding supported accomodation for disabled adults, officers unlawfully challenging people for displaying Palestinian flags and banners, and amidst widespread confusion about what is and isn’t now illegal as a result of the ban, it’s a crucial time for Know Your Rights information to be shared.

House raids in particular are becoming a common part of arrests, and we’ve compiled some of the best Know Your Rights resources to help support you. Please forward this email on to your groups and networks!
