Qesser Zuhrah has been rearrested under the Terrorism Act in an early-hours raid by police officers wearing face coverings. The same tactic used by ICE agents in the US. This is state intimidation, designed to silence dissent. As a movement, we must fight back.
Qesser Zuhrah was held in detention for 15 months without trial, during which she went on hunger strike. I was proud, alongside many others, to get the ambulance she urgently needed deep into that strike when her life was on the line.

Last week, she broke her silence and spoke publicly about the violence she endured at HMP Bronzefield.

Today, just one month after being released on bail, she has been rearrested under the Terrorism Act - reportedly in connection with a social media post.

She was arrested in an early-hours raid by police officers wearing face coverings. The same tactic used by ICE agents in the US.

This is state intimidation, designed to silence dissent. As a movement, we must fight back.
