SUMMARY:Defend the Right to Protest Genocide
DESCRIPTION:NEW TIME 1.30 PM \nStand With Us on 16 June – Defend the Rght to Protest Genocide \nOn Monday 16 June SPSC founding member Mick Napier will appear from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court\, having been held since Friday 13 June. \nOn Friday morning\, Police Scotland officers arrested Mick at his home for breaching bail conditions\, specifically for being within the vicinity of Barclays Bank on Argyle Street in Glasgow and for approaching Sammy Stein. Stein is an ororganiser with Glasgow Friends of Israel\, a racist organisation whose activists receive training from Israeli government officials to counter the success of the boycott\, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel (BDS). \nEvery Saturday\, Stein and his friends harass the Barclays Bank protesters in Glasgow\, baiting and filming protestors directly in their faces. Police Scotland has refused to intervene to prevent Stein’s aggression. \nLike many other Palestinian rights activists across Scotland and beyond\, Mick Napier is under charge for protesting Israeli genocide\, stepping in to hold institutions and corporations to account for their complicity when our governments have failed. \nThis is part of a pattern of legal harassment. Mr. Stein and his associates have previously tried—and failed—multiple times to secure convictions for “racism” against those who speak out against Israel’s war crimes. Courts have repeatedly dismissed these charges. But still they return\, hoping that this time they can succeed in silencing dissent. \nWe must not allow supporters of genocide to hide behind false accusations of racism. Mr. Stein and his group do not represent all Jewish people—many of whom\, here in Scotland and around the world\, stand in solidarity with Palestine. \nThis is about silencing protest\, criminalising solidarity\, and shielding war crimes from scrutiny. The Israeli military’s crimes\, including documented massacres of women and children—as recently reported by a UN committee—must be exposed\, not protected by false accusations of racism. \nWe will demonstrate on the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court from 1.30pm on 16 June\, with guest speakers calling out the lies of Glasgow Friends of Israel and the shameful collusion of Scottish politicians\, Scottish prosecutors\, not to mention educational\, sporting\, and other institutions. \nAfter the demonstration\, attend the court proceedings. \nJoin us. Stand up for truth. Stand up for Palestine.
