Dear David Lammy & Keir Starmer this report provides yet more details of the appalling torture which I briefed you about on Tuesday (alongside partners on a range of 🇵🇸🇮🇱 issues, coordinated by Caabu). The scale & severity demands action from the Govt & your offices (please).
🧵 On the 50th #PalestinianPrisonersDay , we pay tribute to the resilience of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, detainees & their families. We’re spotlighting their testimonies, published as part of a joint submission to UN Special Procedures. Read here: alhaq.org/advocacy/22912…
Pleased to be part of this, but damn angry that the UK govt STILL hasn't stopped arming genocidal Israel despite it being demanded by UK & int'l law, incl obligations under the Genocide Convention, & the majority of the UK public. Labour's Keir Starmer & David Lammy step up!
Correctly, Labour are investigating Lord Young of Norwood Green following my complaint. Defamation and anti-Palestinian racism should have consequences. His false accusation was made about this letter, which many of his LabourLordsUK colleagues signed: caabu.org/news/news/brit…
People in Gaza are being killed while the UK continues to sell arms to Israel. The UK is likely complicit in war crimes. I’ve signed this letter asking Kemi Badenoch Rishi Sunak David Cameron to #StopArmingIsrael Please sign too. oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/c…
