The UK supports another genocide, surprising no one.

"Released without charge"

Nazis do a lot of that?

Edit. Look at all you people downvoting me because you want to believe the Nazis weren't that bad and would let people go without charge. Shame on you.

Should never have been arrested to begin with.

Arresting innocent people to intimidate them is a staple move.

Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and "terrorism". People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They'll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.

Literally a signature of the School of the Americas playbook.

You can watch the video can get an unbiased account including intonation, expressions, and gestures.

Gotta love how western regimes are dropping the whole pretense of having human rights and freeze peach.

Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming
