For the bodies
The bodies of those killed
The bodies buried in mass graves
The bodies under rubble
The bodies disinterred
The bodies in destroyed cemeteries
The thousands of bodies no one can find
The bodies that surface because
the graves are bulldozed
The bodies desecrated

In 1981, 12 young men in Bradford were arrested for preparing to defend their community from fascists. 4 decades on, I spoke to them about their trial & the solidarity that helped secure their freedom. The Bradford 12 case was a pivotal moment in British legal history.🧵 #Defiance

Eid Mubarak from me and my family to you and yours!

As families across Britain come together, I am thinking about the Palestinian people of Gaza, where Eid is being celebrated amidst the rubble of bombed mosques and homes.

Today I am praying for peace and justice for all.

Communities of Alwan Soba practised a conservative, largely cattle-raising model typical of the ancient Kush.
