The more people hear from racists on BBC shows - without all necessary context or pushback - the more reasonable and respectable they will appear. This has created fertile ground for the rise of the far right. The BBC should challenge the lack of evidence behind their claims. 2/4

Based on the Govt’s own data Muslims have disproportionately had pepper spray used against them In some prisons they are also more likely to experience use of force We also know that Muslims have their right to worship blocked. Do any of these “extremist” reviews mention this?

Worrying rhetoric on the need for tasers in prison in light of our recent briefing on use of force against Muslims Also, if you are Muslim/Black you are more likely to have PAVA (pepper spray) used against you Tasers are not the answer James Timpson Shabana Mahmood MP

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood MP just announced tasers will be trialled in prisons after pressure from the prison officers’ union. In a structurally racist system, Black and brown people already face unequal use of force and abuse in prisons. This will only create more harm.

Today, the Ministry of Justice has announced the introduction of PAVA spray against children in prison. The Howard League strongly objects to any approach that inflicts pain on someone deliberately. Read our response here: howardleague.org/news/howard-le…

Based on Govt data we know Muslims/ racialised groups are more likely to have PAVA (pepper spray) used against them in adult prisons No reason why this won’t be repeated in prisons for children where over 50% are from Black/brown communities  It appears their lives matter less

I rarely stray from my everyday #humanrights issues, but this report from Maslaha is deeply concerning. "Prison officers are more likely to use force against Muslims than non-Muslims in prison. Ranging from use of batons to twisting wrists". maslaha.org/project/briefi…

The Daily Mail has released this thing where you put your postcode in and it says what percentage of people don't speak english in your area. That is absolutely abhorrent and a clear incitement to racial tension and worse.

No child should be subject to strip searches in school, and police have no business in our schools. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

We are see live in action a Moral Panic being artificially manufactured around the Burqa. Which is really just an excuse to roll out Islamophobia.
