Protest is not terrorism

Dozens of distinguished scholars and authors from around the world have made a declaration in solidarity with prisoners in the UK whose long detention on remand on charges relating to activism for Palestine has sparked criticism from human rights organisations and UN experts. They include Naomi Klein, Angela Davis and Judith Butler alongside global scholars from a diverse set of academic disciplines, journalists George Monbiot and Owen Jones, and authors Sally Rooney and China Miéville.

A hunger strike by three of the prisoners, Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed and Lewie Chiaramello is still ongoing despite the imminent danger of death. 

The statement wording also highlights the signatories’ condemnation of the arrest of Greta Thunberg on terrorism charges while protesting in solidarity with the prisoners before Christmas. 

The statement echoes the slogan which Greta Thunberg wrote on the placard she was carrying when she was arrested on 23 December. 

“We oppose genocide, we support the Palestine Action prisoners”

A spokesperson for Protest not Terrorism open letter collective said: 

“This statement is a declaration of support for the campaign by prisoners for the respect of their fundamental rights to a fair trial, to prompt and appropriate medical treatment, to uncensored communications with their legal representatives and the removal of punitive and draconian conditions imposed by the Prison Service triggered by the widely-condemned proscription of Palestine Action. The signatories also affirm their solidarity with Greta Thunberg after her shocking arrest on terrorism charges for expressing solidarity with the prisoners.” 

Writing in the Guardian on 7 January, George Monbiot said: 

“The hunger strikers’ demands seem reasonable to me: release on bail; the right to a fair trial (they claim the government has withheld key documents); lifting the ban on Palestine Action; and shutting down Elbit Systems – which has supplied weapons to a state engaged in genocide – in the UK. All these things, I believe, should be happening anyway” 

Professor Peter Hallward, one of the signatories to the statement, said: 

“The UK is now perilously close to full descent into authoritarian rule. Ministers won’t even meet with hunger-strikers who are now at death’s door. Starmer, Lammy, Cooper and Mahmood seem perfectly ready to let this country’s most committed and courageous opponents of an ongoing genocide waste away and die. Now the police have begun arresting people just for using the standard Arabic word for ‘uprising,’ marking yet another draconian step in the elimination of what’s left of our freedoms of expression and of academic inquiry.”
