Chris Nineham – State of War, The Police, Palestine & the Politics of Protest

Spread the love

Chris Nineham – deputy leader of the Stop the War Coalition and Chief Steward for many of London’s demonstrations against the Israel Hamas War and the British government’s involvement (source) – was arrested for some reason at the Gaza protest in London yesterday. There’s also a video of him getting arrested.

This video is from 2 months ago. Among other things, he says

The police and the establishment in this country … are conducting a campaign of vilification and repression against the movement … it’s really a campaign against freedom of speech in general in this country and certainly on the issue of Palestine.

We should take no lectures from the Metropolitan Police or any other police force about hate crime and about intimidation …
