SUMMARY:No One Left Behind: Mick Napier on trial
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on 7th May at 9 am \nWhat’s Happening? \nOn Wednesday\, 7th May\, two separate trials have been merged to be dealt with together in Court 13. One alleges threatening and abusive behaviour inside the Barclays branch on Argyle Street during our\nprotest against its financing of genocide. The other charge is of religious hatred and excessive noise\, eight days later (6 October) outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery. \nWhy We’re Here \n\nBarclays Trial (Argyle Street): all protestors stood facing away from branch staff at all times\,\nmaking clear our anger was directed at Barclays’ profiteering from genocide\, not at individual\nemployees. It will be difficult to sustain a charge of threatening and abusive behaviour when the\naccused turn their backs on the victim throughout!\nKelvingrove Trial: Charges of “religious hatred” stem from complaints by Glasgow Friends of\nIsrael – a group notorious for manifestations of extreme racism over a long period of time\,\nincluding calls to “euthanise” Palestinians and welcoming the 2019 White supremacist massacre\nof 51 Muslims in New Zealand mosques. Our protest was against an event organised by advocates and partners of the genocidal Israeli regime.\n\nThese absurd charges echo two decades of legal harassment\, ranging from racial hatred and assault\nallegations to being stopped for “driving too slowly”—and follow convictions for organising unauthorised\ndemonstrations\, including two Covid-regulation breach convictions the same week as drunken\nDowning Street parties. \nWhat Next? \n\n9am – 10am: Rally on the courthouse steps – hear brief speeches\, connect with fellow campaigners\,\nand show solidarity.\n10am: Head into Court 13 to show support for the accused and opposition to the wave of repression\nof those opposing Israeli genocide.\n\nWhat’s at Stake? \n\nSetting yet another dangerous precedent for criminalising protest against genocide and the use of religious aggravation charges to deter opposition to the Israeli genocide.\nPermitting “hate-speech” charges to be used against vocal opponents of Israeli government\npolicy.\nFurther threats under the Terrorism Act and fresh Barclays-related racial-hatred charges loom.\n\nHow You Can Help \n\nBe There – Your presence amplifies our message: opposing genocide is not a crime.\nSpread the Word – Share this invitation on social media and in your networks.\nDonate – Legal costs are mounting; every contribution helps us fight back.\nStay Informed – Follow updates on the website www.scottishpsc.org.uk\n\nSolidarity Now – Resistance Always \nYour support on 7 May will send a clear message: when they target one of us\, they target all of us\, and we’ll stand together\, leaving no one behind. \nJoin Us on the Steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday 7 May at 9:00 AM
