    They carried photographs of Palestinian doctors who were arrested by Israeli forces after being detained from hospitals.

    Those in attendance called for international organizations to meet their legal and humanitarian responsibilities.

    The groups demanded urgent intervention to stop violations in prisons and to secure the release of Palestinian detainees.

    According to Palestinian data, more than 9,300 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, including at least 3,385 held in administrative detention without charge or trial.

    Israel has sharply escalated its violations against Palestinian detainees, particularly those from Gaza, since the start of the war, including starvation, torture, sexual violence and systematic denial of medical care, rights groups said.

    Israel has killed more than 71,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

    Protests erupt across US after ICE agent shoots woman dead

    CITIES across the United States continued to erupt in protest today after a woman was shot dead by a federal immigration officer.

    Thousands of people took to the streets to vent their anger at Wednesday’s shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, including in New York, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Phoenix, Tucson, Columbus and Minneapolis, where the shooting took place.

    The killing of Ms Macklin Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent came during US President Donald Trump’s latest armed operation against the Somali community.

    More than 1,500 people have been arrested during the raids carried out by around 2,000 ICE agents.

    …

    Eyewitness Emily Heller said officers had screamed at Ms Macklin Good to “move, move, move!”

    But when she moved, an officer shot her multiple times.

  • Attacks on right to protest ‘fraying the fabric of democracy,’ major reports warn

    Metropolitan Police officers form a cordon at Parliament Square to prevent protesters reaching Westminster Bridge during a Free Palestine Coalition demonstration in central London, January 6, 2024

    THE right to protest is facing an “unprecedented crisis” in England and Wales with legal reforms in the past years “fraying the fabric of democracy itself,” two major reports said today.

    Law reform organisation Justice and Human Rights Watch called for the changes to be repealed and proposals for more curbs halted.

    Justice chief executive Fiona Rutherford said: “Year by year, we see police powers grow, as our fundamental right to protest is treated more like a privilege.

    “The law in this area has become dangerously unbalanced, empowering the state to silence voices it should be safeguarding. 

    “Reversing this trend is essential to restoring trust, protecting rights and preserving a healthy democracy.”

    Human Rights Watch senior researcher Lydia Gall said: “The UK is now adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. 

    “The UK should oppose such measures, not replicate and endorse them.”

    Responding to the announcement from the Justice Secretary, David Lammy, that jury trials in England and Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than three years are set to be scrapped, Green Party MP, Siân Berry, said:

    “The focus on victims’ rights is appreciated, but this Labour Government is taking the wrong steps to try to serve us better, and laying the groundwork for further crackdowns on dissent, whistleblowing and protest if it removes juries from so many charges that have state or corporate victims.

    “Juries are also a safeguard against creeping bias and discrimination. Judges are not currently representative of our wider communities and, under these plans, individual decisions will be at risk of damaging politicisation, while individual judges who are women or from minoritised communities risk attacks from the far right.

    “More than fifteen years of continuing austerity has caused a backlog in the courts, not juries. Instead of dismantling a centuries-old fundamental legal right, the Government must reverse the neglect and cuts that created this mess in the first place.”

  • Hundreds in Sweden protest Israeli attacks on Gaza despite ceasefire

    Hundreds of people staged a rally Saturday in the Swedish capital to protest Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, saying Israel is violating the ceasefire agreement, Anadolu reports.

    Demonstrators gathered in Odenplan Square in central Stockholm to denounce continued Israeli attacks and the blocking of humanitarian aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave.

    Chanting pro-Palestine slogans, participants carried signs reading “Stand up for Palestine” and “Say no to genocide.”

    Protesters also urged the Swedish government to impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel.

    Dror Feiler, a Jewish activist attending the rally, told Anadolu that although there is talk of a ceasefire in Palestine, the situation on the ground shows otherwise.

    “Palestinians are being killed every day in Gaza, while ethnic cleansing continues in the occupied West Bank,” he said.

    Feiler added that Israeli security forces in the West Bank not only fail to stop settler attacks on Palestinians but are also complicit.

    “Our governments continue to buy and sell weapons. They continue to support Israel politically and diplomatically … that’s unacceptable,” he said.
