If conditions cannot be guaranteed, the court can uphold his appeal and deny the order.
Whether or not that ruling would in turn be appealed by the US DoJ to the UK Supreme Court is moot. Ditto chance of success if it is. Between impinging on the right to freedom of expression & the horrors of the US penal system, extradition is likely illegal under UK human rights law.
Here’s hoping they prevail & that they inspire others either way.
Do like the slogan on that banner.
That likely explains things. Thank you! Am here via Memmy.
Cheers. That worked. What a spooky coincidence! Can’t think why it would have been blocked.
The word it translates to is not visible for me in your comment.
Could be that it got censored out somehow - there’s a double space between “as” and “which”.
You know which one.
Arrange a transfer from Russian branch to Armenian branch, withdraw money, close account.
Or just a plain withdrawal if you already have an account with them in Russia, and other banks are refusing your business.
Probably just people who can’t get less risky accounts, or who are hoping to get money out of Russia.
Eh, feels as though we’re inching into WWIII.
Am lucky on this one, in that my country is generally supportive of Palestinians and even our neoliberal government has been critical of Israel’s behaviour, now and also in the past. It is unlikely that they’d ban the protests.
Though if they did, it could easily result in far more people taking to the streets.
Wishing you all the best in your endeavours, wherever you are.
Of course.
I guess I’ve become very pessimistic over the years, which is not good.
Like I’ll still turn out to stuff, but with none of the hope in my heart I’d have had in the past.
I feel like this would need protests well beyond the scale I can imagine any of the populations in these nations mounting, and that they’d have to be backed by widespread blockades & strikes.
But mostly that very little would slow Israel down, short of the US intervening militarily in the next few hours.
Am against this ban, but I do not see how protests in France would be any kind of check on the actions of the Israeli military in Palestine.
Hamas are not their elected representatives. They are a brutal dictatorship who rule Gaza with violence and fear, including slaughter & rape of their own.
There have been no elections in Gaza since 2006
At that point, Hamas won on a plurality of 41%.
Hardly overwhelming.
Today, 50% of the population are under 18 & 64% of adults say they do not feel it is safe to criticise Hamas.
So enough of your nonsense, though frankly, even if a large majority had voted Hamas in a recent election, that would still leave a lot of people who are against Hamas.
By having better intelligence?
Though mostly I think these governments are just aligning with the wishes of the US, coupled with the knowledge that they can afford to be cavalier with the rights of citizens who might have attended, and… they want to avoid the complexity of policing this.
They do, right up until a government decides to do as it pleases.
Every single right was hard fought for, and though some people will put in huge effort to resist the introduction of this measure, most of those who agree it is terrible won’t do a thing.
Meantime the rest of the population harbour very dark thoughts on the matter. If anything, even Tory governments are far more liberal than the general UK public.
Well done for standing up to the guy.
But idk that he assumed you’d agree because of your shaven head - may just have been your whiteness.
Where I’m from, Nazi skinheads do exist, but they’re far, far rarer than other kinds of skinhead. Unless I see indications of far-right inclinations, I’ll assume a skinhead dressed in tight jeans & big black boots is an anarchist rather than a Nazi.
Extra fun to see anarchist skinheads chasing Nazi skinheads out of an area though.
Idk, those harvesters are often rather delicate, so unsure how well they’d manage backfire from a rocket launch, but you have me imagining those farm machines with the huge sprayer wings, but fitted with lightweight guns, all controlled from the cab.
Entirely different groups of people, and they’re profoundly opposed to each other.
At the core of this massive protest/strike are groups which have been against the bombardment of Gaza from the outset, and protesting Israel’s war against Palestinians for years.
