We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike and at extreme risk of death.
Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting and it is now critical to prevent a tragedy.
Amnesty International has long opposed the misuse of terrorism powers that has led to lengthy, oppressive, and disproportionate detention conditions, contributing directly to this crisis.
Action is needed now to:
✅ Guarantee communication with legal representatives
✅ Ensure proper family contact
✅ Provide urgent and appropriate medical care
This situation is drastic and urgent.

Doesn't AT ALL sound like liberation was never the plan, just theft and domination by another bully embodying American Imperialism...
Not.
At.

Violence across Darfur and Kordofan in Sudan is escalating fast.
Thousands are fleeing—others are trapped in danger.
We can’t afford to look away.

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

"Not since the 1980s have the streets, the community and civil society been so important in building up frontline defence.
The response to the far - right is internationalism and intersectional solidarity" ✊🏾

The violence last summer was preventable.
The violence in Ballymena was preventable.
The violence in Epping was preventable.
How much more violence do we have to see before Government stops inflaming racist rhetoric and steps up to safeguard people in hotels?

A group of Black students went to the @young_vam and were racially profiled and followed around by security like they were a bunch of criminals. Black young people aren't safe in our most prestigious public spaces. Sign this petition demanding an apology. chng.it/VLbj7VHDMW

Israeli officials made countless genocidal statements to burn, erase and annihilate Gaza, and then did just that.
And not a whisper from the same people now supposedly outraged by Bob Vylan’s comments.
Me on LBC last night.

It is a human duty to confront genocide.
Silence is not neutrality—it’s surrender.
Only the cowardly and complicit look away.
History won’t forget who stood by—and who stood up.

Calm, respectful, civil. All words that immediately come to mind where the state of Israel is concerned at the moment. There really is a special place in hell for people like this. In the meantime, these protesting students really are calm, respectful, and civil.
