No One Left Behind: Stand in Solidarity with Mick Napier

SPSC Mick Napier will appear in court this Friday, 6th June, for supposedly ‘frightening’ Barclays staff and ‘blockading’ the bank’s Glasgow Branch at a #BoycottBarclays Campaign protest. This will be conjoined with an allegedly ‘religious’ crime offence, six days earlier at Kelvingrove during a demonstration against Glasgow Friends of Genocide Israel (masquerading as the ‘Jewish Community’).

We’re calling on our members and supporters to stand in solidarity at the Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday! At 9:00 AM, we’ll hear a few words from Australian academic Dr. Tim Anderson on the repression of those campaigning against serial aggressive wars and genocide.

Tim was convicted over the years of conspiracy to murder, plotting a bombing and was fired from Sidney University. Both convictions were overturned, and Tim was awarded compensation. His dismissal was ruled illegal.

Tim Anderson is Director of the Sydney-based Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies. For more than 30 years, he worked at Australian universities, teaching, researching, and publishing on development, human rights and self-determination in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. In the 1970s and 80s, he was framed twice on terrorist charges but later cleared and paid compensation. In 2019, he was dismissed from the University of Sydney for “offending its Israeli sponsors”.

“Compared to that, I only face low-level legal harassment, but it’s still important that there is No One Left Behind at the Sheriff Court this Friday” – Mick Napier.
