My wonderful, beautiful and brave friend Eva has, along with four others, been sentenced to one year in prison today in Glasgow. She has been imprisoned for taking peaceful action to save Palestinian lives - by occupying an Israeli arms factory. This is an evil decision

Really important piece by @TiffanyFSweeney . As a teacher in the interior of Guyana it is clear that schools have to do a better job of addressing the stigma surrounding mental health, as well as providing councillors, there are none in my village of 1,200

Guyana has the world's highest rate of female suicide. Alarmingly, the problem starts young - very young. A powerful reporting debut for @TiffanyFSweeney for #BBCnewsten - @paulroyall @jackymartens

I also had with me in my pocket the now incredibly famous poem 'If I must die' by Refat Alareer, a poet, beloved father and husband who was murdered by Israeli forces last year, his words gave me strength that morning.

It is a legal explanation for why I was in the road on that day... I do not believe that I was actually breaking the law - but instead, I was, through my actions - upholding international law.

The establishment would love to see this in the UK too (see the oil and arms industry funded walney report), which we must fight.

The German state's fascist methods are spreading by the day. Climate activists are charged with forming a criminal organisation. Even the British Tories did not go that far against Extinction Rebellion. Sad!
