| [HodhodYemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... News] UK police arrested nine individuals, among them six young women, for holding a meeting to discuss the ongoing genocide in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Youth Demand, a pro-Paleostinian group advocating for climate action and an end to UK arms sales to Israel, reported on Friday that at least nine of its members and supporters have been arrested, with police raiding homes and events associated with the group. On Thursday, 30 Met coppers stormed into the Youth Demand Welcome Talk at the Quaker Meeting House in Westminster and arrested six young women, including one attending their first ever welcome talk and a journalist. Three of them were released in the early hours of the morning, but three remain in jug Police said that they were arresting people for "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance." In a separate incident at around 8.00 am on Friday, police arrested Youth Demand supporter Eddie Whittingham ​in his house in Exeter, but he has been released without charge. Three other supporters were arrested at another location. Then, at around 12:30 pm on Friday, cops raided another Youth Demand supporter’s home and arrested them. Youth Demand, in a post on Instagram, announced that the UK police have made nine arrests in less than 20 hours. "Arresting those for attending a welcome talk is an unprecedented level of police repression that has never been seen before in the UK. Repression means the state is nervous and we are winning," it said. The Welcome Talk is an opportunity to share information about Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Paleostinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and about the mass killing that is being imposed on marginalized people across the globe as a result of the accelerating climate crisis. Ella Grace-Taylor, 20, an actor, musician, and one of those arrested, said after her release that UK politicians are complicit in allowing law enforcement to carry out mass arrests and detainments of those who speak out against the government’s involvement in enabling the Israeli genocide. "By arming Israel and refusing to call what is happening a genocide, they are perpetrating mass slaughter. Hundreds of children were killed in Paleostine in the last week. We won’t stop saying it. We won’t be intimidated," she added. A Youth Demand spokesperson said in a statement that the UK government sees the pro-Paleostine group as a "threat" due to their strong opposition to governmental actions facilitating genocide. "We will not be silenced. Young people all over the country are coming together to shut London down day after day throughout April," the spokesperson highlighted. Youth Demand is planning on launching its month of resistance on April 1, at 6:30 pm in Mallet Street outside Senate House Library. "Only sustained mass resistance can put an end to genocide. By standing together,r we can grind the murder machine to a standstill. It’s time to disrupt," the spokesperson noted. |
