CAGE Updates

Pro-Palestine activist Elias d’Imzalène, is facing a trial in France for his support of Palestine.

His trial is a serious attack on the right to oppose genocide.

We stand in solidarity with Elias d’Imzalene.

Majid Freeman was supposed to stand trial today.

But instead the case has been adjourned for a fourth time!

This is causing immense stress and it’s all due to the incompetence of Leicestershire Police - who have specifically targeted Majid for his activism.

We reject this attack on Majid and will continue showing our support for him.

🚨BREAKING

Yahya Sinwar has been killed in a battle with Zionist soldiers whilst defending his besieged people from the genocidal Zionist forces. Resisting until his final breath.

Israel may believe this will destroy the resistance of Palestinians.

It is the occupation, the apartheid and the genocide that breeds resistance, and this will continue until those forces are defeated.

Every Palestinian that is killed is a martyr, and their rank will increase in honour and dignity.

🇵🇸CAGE International: Israel can kill individuals but it can never defeat the idea of liberation

Far from hiding underground in a tunnel chained to Israeli prisoners, Sinwar had been on the frontlines above ground defending his besieged people from the genocidal Zionist forces.

By killing Sinwar, Israel believes that it will obliterate Palestinian resistance. The truth is that for every Sinwar that is killed, dozens are prepared to take his place.

🚨 Mobilise for Majid Freeman!

Humanitarian and Pro-Palestine activist Majid Freeman stood up for the Leicester community during the 2022 Hindutva-inspired riots.

He was convicted for defending his community last month in a politicised trial and was in prison for a week!

Majid is being targeted for his pro justice activism.

Now, his appeal is going ahead.

💪 Stand in solidarity with Majid during his trial.

🕑 Friday, Oct 18th. 10am - 11am
📍 Leicester Magistrates Court

Bring your 🇵🇸 flags and show your solidarity.

The US and Canada jointly proscribed Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

They did so because Samidoun is committed to advocating for the Palestinian people by exposing the harsh conditions of political prisoners and condemning the role of Western governments in the ongoing genocide.

We’re witnessing the criminalising of liberation movements and groups in support of Palestine, whilst support for Genocide continues!

We must resist these repressive actions.

Today we stand in full solidarity with Samidoun.

10 actionists are currently imprisoned in the UK, disrupting the manufacture of weapons by Israel's largest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems.

Counter Terrorism powers were used to detain them, despite their actions and charges being unconnected to terrorism!

They are being denied basic rights, and some are kept in complete isolation.

The families of the Filton 10 have launched a petition to call on the Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood, Director of Public Prosecutions, and Attorney General to end the use of terrorism powers against them.

End using terror laws against activists!

Their silence is selective; Palestinians are erased and simply don't matter.

As government representatives attended a major Human Rights conference to speak, none addressed the genocide in Gaza.

October 7th marks a defining moment in the Palestinian struggle for liberation.

Global institutions have failed, standing silent as Israeli forces commit heinous atrocities: torture, murder, false imprisonment, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.

Still, the Palestinian spirit remains unbroken, steadfast in its 76-year-long fight for freedom from illegal occupation.

Millions of dollars and pounds are spent to suppress our activism for Palestine!

There is a message we all carry, one of Resilience and Resistance to injustice, that they seek to silence.

Listen to these powerful segments from the speakers of our most recent event October 7th: A Year of Resistance to Repression Across Europe.

"Guantanamo's legacy of Injustice is not confined to one place. It is everywhere."

Guantanamo Bay is one of the greatest human rights violations of the 21st century.

Mansoor Adayfi, a survivor who spent 14 years in the torture facility, is calling on the world to finally close Guantanamo. 

The U.S. must be held to account for its abuses against innocent prisoners and end this dark chapter.

We have documented, in detail, France’s persecution of Muslims.

Due to this our Managing Director was banned from the country.

The hypocrisy is clear to see. A western NGO leader would never be banned for doing their job!

This week, French courts upheld the ban and showed their support for the state’s Islamophobia and violation of individual freedoms.

Just this week, our team and partners exposed France at the OSCE, one of the world’s largest Human Rights conferences.

We will continue, undeterred, speaking the truth of supporting our communities in France and beyond.

"Institutions that supposedly protect the public are now being weaponised to advance Israel's genocidal and racist agenda."

At a global Human Rights conference, we revealed the Austrian government’s extreme repression of pro Palestine protests.

Despite Austria’s dark history of racism, one that should make it more inclined to champion ceasefire efforts and human rights, instead, it reinforces anti-Palestinian prejudice.

Nehal Abdalla urged Austria to break from its oppressive actions and called for justice for those advocating an end to the genocide in Gaza.

''The French Republic endeavoured relentlessly to enable the Zionist Regime.''

At a global conference on Human Rights we unmasked the French government for its relentness targetting of Muslims and Pro Palestine movement.

Rayan Freschi demanded an abolition of the France's Islamophobic laws and a stop to its support for the genocide in Gaza.

"To allow Israel to prevail with impunity is one of the darkest stains of our time."

We exposed the UK's repression of Pro-Palestine activists at a global human rights conference.

Shezana Hafiz, who was arrested for supporting Palestine alongside 5 other CAGE staff spoke powerfully, demanding that the world supports the right of the Palestinians to resist genocide.

Watch her empowering speech now.

Bombs rained down on this day…

Not on Gaza, but Afghanistan.

23 years ago, the occupation of Afghanistan began, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Moazzam Begg was there when it all started…

From across the replica Dome of the Rock in Kabul he shares his reflection: despite decades of war, Afghan hearts and minds remain with Palestine.

🇵🇸October 7th - A century of resistance to genocide

Palestinians have the right to engage in armed resistance against occupation and a 20 year genocidal blockade.

It is not the means of Palestinian resistance that is problematic for Israel’s allies...

but Palestinian existence itself.

12 months, and over 100 years of resistance to colonisation and genocide.

It’s time to reset the narrative:

Israel has no right to exist.

Palestinians have every right to resist occupation.

Our political prisoners, from Palestine to London, must be set free.

Today, we honour the tens of thousands who were killed…

Today, we redouble our efforts to hold Israel and its enablers accountable!

#FreePalestine

📢 *Online Event | October 7th: A Year of Resistance to Repression Across Europe*

Over the past year, governments across Europe have unleashed some of the harshest repression on pro-Palestine activists:
🚔 Arrests & raids
⚖️ Politicised trials
🚫 Bans on protests & slogans

🌍 Activists from across the continent will gather to discuss a year of resistance in support of Palestine!

We'll also be marking the international remembrance day for victims of the "War on Terror," commemorating the day the first bombs fell on Afghanistan in 2001, and how the authoritarian laws passed since then are used to criminalise pro-Palestine activism today.
