Today, when the organised far-right are once again on the rise throughout Europe and racial violence in the UK is escalating, we remember this: together, we can beat fascism.

People came together across the country throughout the 1930s to stop fascism. And despite support from some in the media with headlines like “Hurrah for the Blackshirts!” - people organised and beat the BUF on the streets and at the ballot box. They never won a seat in Parliament.

But the people of London met the call “all out against fascism” - and the largest anti-fascist mobilisation in British history took place in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street. Mosley’s fascists were stopped from marching through our streets.

“They shall not pass.” 90 years ago today, as antisemitism and fascism were on the rise throughout Europe, Oswald Mosley’s racist British Union of Fascists planned a provocative march through the Jewish community of East London.

Protesters were being ARRESTED for HOLDING UP SIGNS outside the Labour Party Conference yesterday! But this is nothing new. In the UK, OVER 3,500 people have been arrested, with MORE THAN 2,250 formally charged under TERROR LAWS for PEACEFULLY PROTESTING the ban on Palestine Action.

There is a chance for the new Prime Minister to stop this absurdity. Protest has always been part of British culture. It makes our communities more RESILIENT, our government more RESPONSIVE and our society more INCLUSIVE – share this video if you agree!

The UK government must end its attack on jury trials once and for all. Amnesty UK welcomed the government’s signals that it will walk back some of the Courts and Tribunals Bill.

PROTESTING WORKS! Even the Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, agrees. Thanks to millions of people around the world demanding justice for Palestinians, the UK has taken the first steps to help end Israel’s illegal occupation by banning settlement goods and some services.

Amnesty is joining MPs, campaigners and people with lived experience to ensure this basic right is enshrined in law. Thank you to the Bakers, Food & Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) and the British Dietetic Association (BDA) for proposing this motion and the work they've done to secure support for it.

On Tuesday, the Trades Union Congress passed a motion to support the campaign to enshrine the right to food in UK law. 14.1 million people across our country are living in food poverty. We are the 5th richest country in the world. No one should be going hungry.

Lawyer Chow Hang-tung was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison, and fellow activist Lee Cheuk-yan was sentenced to seven years - despite them committing no internationally recognised crime. They must be immediately and unconditionally released.

Not only is the punishment unjust for them and the victims of the crackdown, but it also denies generations of Hongkongers the space to discuss one of the most consequential events in modern Chinese history.

BREAKING: Yesterday morning Tiananmen activists were sentenced to prison for organising peaceful vigils. The sentencing of activists who organised peaceful vigils to commemorate the Tiananmen crackdown is a triple tragedy.

Usama Ghanem can return to university! 🎓 Last year, King's College London suspended Usama after he participated in pro-Palestine protests, which led to his student visa being revoked. An internal review has now found no reason for that to stand - a win from student campaigning across the UK 🎉

But today is not the end of the road. The test now is whether these commitments are properly implemented and enforced, and followed by the wider action needed to hold Israel accountable for its crimes and meet the UK’s obligations under international law.

The commitment to ban trade in settlement goods and some services, prohibit financing of settlements, refuse arms that contribute to the occupation, and support the genocide case before the International Court of Justice represents a significant change of course.

Amnesty International UK @amnestyuk.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Amid the ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, today's measures are a genuine step towards accountability for Israel's repeated and flagrant violations of international law.

🚨BREAKING: Today’s announcement is hugely welcome. The Foreign Secretary promised a ‘comprehensive reset’ and today could be the sea change that is needed. The UK Government has committed to concrete action and has recognised Israel’s unlawful occupation and ethnic cleansing.

End the prosecution of peaceful protestors in the UK

Police have made 2,700+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This can't go unchallenged. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide...

Racist hate crimes in Northern Ireland have risen to their HIGHEST LEVELS since records began more than two decades ago. According to police statistics published today, the surge was driven by the organised racist violence that occurred in parts of Northern Ireland in June.

Too many politicians seem incapable of any real leadership – whether at home or internationally – preferring to agitate hate, violence and inhumanity that makes all of us less safe. This latest proposal from Reform provides a stark example of that.

52113

Amnesty International UK @amnestyuk.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Reform's proposal is a further extension of a wider politics that has moved dangerously far from any sense of what is practical, legal or constitutes basic human decency.

Amnesty has documented mass arbitrary detention, beatings, torture and other ill-treatment, enforced disappearances, denial of medical care and deaths in custody in El Salvador's justice system.

Amnesty International UK @amnestyuk.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Reform has proposed transferring people convicted in the UK to prisons in El Salvador - a country known for serious human rights abuses. This would be financing brutality with British taxpayers’ money.
