Protest under Threat!
Victory to the Intifada! | 19.04.2004 22:15 | Anti-racism | London
As the British state continues it's collaboration with Israeli terrorism, Pro-Palestinian supporters are repressed and arrested illegally here in the U.K. as the British police join forces with Zionist extremists. Resist and protect our right to protest!
No to Zionist terror!
Defend the right to protest!
Stop police harassment!
On 15 April, police illegally arrested two pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London following weeks of harassment of a picket outside Marks and Spencer in Oxford Street. At a time when the Zionist state is stepping up its murderous campaign against the Palestinian people, police in this country are stepping in to stop effective protest against British support for Israeli state terror. The two protesters were detained for using a megaphone in a clear breach of their right to demonstrate.
The pickets of Marks & Spencer - Britain’s biggest corporate sponsor of Israel - have taken place most weeks for the past 3 years. For the last six months, the youth wing of Sharon’s Likud Party, Betar, have organised a counter-demonstration with the expressed intention of driving us away. The Metropolitan Police are now colluding with these Zionist fascists in the same way that Labour is colluding with the Zionist state’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and its policy of ethnic cleansing.
Now more than ever democrats and anti-imperialists must stand with the Palestinian people. The assassinations of Sheikh Yassin and Abdul Aziz Rantisi were war crimes along with the daily murder of Palestinian men, women and children. Labour’s support for the Zionists is inseparable from their war against the Iraqi people. Both represent Labour’s drive to defend and advance the interests of British imperialism in the Middle East.
This state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue! We have to build an effective movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people. We call upon you to support and advance this action in solidarity with Palestine. Stand up and defend your democratic right to protest!
Boycott Marks and Spencer’s this and every Thursday from 6-8pm on Oxford St (Marble Arch end).
