In Spokane, Washington: Police declared the protest unlawful, deploying smoke grenades and pepper‑balls. The ACLU of Washington condemned the use of chemical agents, calling it an “escalation” that chills free speech. #FreedomToProtest #DemocracyWatch

Under a #ReformUK Government expect to see a "shutting down of #Democracy". Forget having a #PressFreedom, forget having #FreedomOfExpression, forget #FreedomToProtest. Under #ReformUK you will have #NoHumanRighta.

The High Court has allowed challenge by Palestine Action to the ban imposed on it www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #censorship #freedomtoprotest #freedomofspeech #humanrights

Palestine Action can challenge UK ban, court rules

The group's co-founder wins a bid to bring a legal challenge after the government banned it as a terror organisation.

We will not allow this to become normal.

The Trump regime is trying to crush dissent beginning with those who speak out for Palestinian freedom. This is a threat to all who believe in justice. Tell Congress to protect students & demand Mahmoud’s release: bit.ly/freemahmoudnow
