Waiting for the system justifiers on this platform to claim that Geoffrey Robertson KC "doesn't understand the law". That's what all of us who've made these points have been told. Maybe not understanding how this could possibly be right is a sign of our humanity. www.theguardian.com/global/comme...

You may not sympathise with the Elbit four’s methods. But you should be outraged by their treatment under the law | Geoffrey Robertson
The jurors who found the pro-Palestine activists guilty of criminal damage had no idea their verdict would be treated as a verdict on terrorism, says Geoffrey Robertson KC

Today, April 7, is Kwibuka32, the commemoration of the 32d anniversary of the first full day of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda. Past US presidents marked the date with stock statements of “never again.” Today the president instead echoed the language & threats of the perpetrators.

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez has become one of the few Western leaders to condemn the US‑Israel strike on Iran, describing it as unjustified and outside international law while calling for negotiation and diplomacy.

"We oppose the government’s draconian crackdown on our rights to freedom of expression and assembly. Clamping down on peaceful protests will not protect anyone’s rights or safety, and we reject cynical attempts by government to present this repressive proposal as protection for vulnerable groups."

Both ‘Human Rights Watch’ & ‘Justice’ have produced reports asking for new protest laws to be repealed & proposals for more curbs halted. “The UK is adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. It should oppose such measures, not replicate them.”

Awarding the UN's Francesca Albanese a Nobel Peace Prize would be powerful global recognition of her great courage in speaking out against genocide in Gaza. It would be a clear statement of utter disgust from us all. Please sign this @avaaz.org petition and share. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

Nobel Peace Prize for Francesca Albanese and the doctors of Gaza
Netanyahu just nominated Trump for the Nobel peace prize. Let’s show that the world thinks - Francesca and Gaza doctors deserve it instead!

5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor.
