NEW: Solvay 3 only ordered to pay fines covering emergency service costs in Wrexham.

After a week long trial, the three have been given one of the lightest punishments available by the jury in Caernarfon, and even managed to express solidarity with Palestinians in the trial.

Saturday

Great Cardiff Stop the War Q&A session with a diverse panel looking at how Wales can support Palestine. Good to see social workers there supporting social justice, anti apartheid and condemning war crimes. Perhaps a more visible presence from associations like BASW Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 next time

Direct action is an essential part of any healthy functioning democracy.

Every single political party in our Senedd is complicit in the building of arms factories in Wales whose product is being used in war crimes.

The Solvay Three don't need us - we need them!

A very well researched article by Samuel Charap and Sergey Radchenko on the Istanbul talks based on previously unpublished drafts of the peace agreement. It argues against a number of myths and misconceptions about why the talks failed and also why the war started.

Honoured to lend support to the Solvay three outside Caernarfon Crown Court.
Their action in support of justice and peace in Palestine back in 2021 led to this trial.
Gaza's tragedy today shows how right and righteous they were.
