I've been rebailed pending investigation. Insane. Our country's on its knees & public funds are channeled into harassing peaceful dissenters & bombing Palestinians. Criminal.

I am taking Amnesty International to UK employment tribunal for their highest-level support for far-right nationalist Navalny who advocated racist hatred and violence for years without apology or redress.
Thanks for all the support & solidarity. Access to justice is close to impossible. I have been supported by UK charities and volunteer lawyers until now.
I'm now Crowdfunding my legal fees going forward
Here's some good old far-right homophobia from

1. Here is unapologetic far-right racist

29 years since the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, we must never forget how easily hate speech turns to hate crime.

So how did
#amnesty
defend themselves in court against this Muslim upstart, calling out
#Islamophobia
? Their sinister, desperate strategy was to publicly deny my Islamic identity. It was the most ignorant, harassing & deeply offensive experience of my life. Am-nasty International
@Ionwerks
a political prisoner yes. A prisoner of conscience - there seems to be some disagreement and selective application by Amnesty of that term. Hence my case.
Back in court today as

try and get up to £100,000 in legal costs from me, as I called them out for their highest support of an unapologetic, far-right racist, who advocated people shoot/kill Chechens &/or Muslims. This is what systemic

looks like.

We can call it

I just read that
#amnestyinternational
raised €384,000,000 in 2022. Still, before my court case is even over, they sought £100,000 in legal costs from me - an unemployed Muslim mother of three - after I called them out for

for supporting a far-right racist.
Spread this news. An international team of lawyers are preparing the ground for prosecuting Israel (and I hope its allies, US, EU, UK) for war crimes. Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏽🇵🇸

@AishinkaA
take such principled stances against the ridiculous police case over a satirical poster. Honestly, unless you have protected status like Charlie Hebdo, Europe is where satire goes to die.

@petite_michelle
Not really. When
#Amnesty
gave their highest-level support to
#Navalny
, despite his genocidal language against Chechens & advocacy of extrajudicial executions of Muslims, silence wasn't an option. It effects me, my family, my community, Muslims, ethnic minorities more broadly.
Good news: clemency has been granted to death row inmates and brothers, Illia & Stanislau Kostseu in
#Belarus
. They will soon be transferred to a prison. Let's hope this is a bold step towards a moratorium on death sentences and full abolition of the
#deathpenalty
in Belarus.

There are thousands of us here reminding our war criminal leaders that endorsing, funding, arming a colonial settler genocide is a war crime. Ceasefire now! Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏽🇵🇸

A total injustice! I worked with Ales, Valentin and all at Viasna for years. They are heroes. In tough and oppressive conditions they defend the rights and dignity of others. Now it's time to defend theirs. Жыве Беларусь

I'm glad you're on BBC news, that's so important, although I haven't watched it since 2019 UK general election. Insanely bias propaganda.

11,500 Palestinians dead including 4,710 children.

Online definitions refer to armed Palestinian uprisings against Israeli occupation which is legal and legitimate, in accordance with international law, specifically UNGA 37/43.

already. A real boost to my case. I am still crowdfunding for my legal fees and have a way to go. All donations are very gratefully received 🙏
#Amnesty
can't provide a single example in their 60+ year history of such high-level support to someone who, like
#navalny
systematically advocated discriminatory hatred and violence for yrs w/o apologising, despite being publicly asked to:
I've never been so insulted & harassed as by their deeply ignorant & sinister questions.
#Amnesty
can't justify their highest support of a far-right racist who advocated shooting Muslims, using the language of genocide, so they put their energy instead into more
#islamophobia
.
Such comments were made in the context of his established anti-immigrant, racist politics at a time when violent attacks and killings across Russia were rising at an alarming rate, according to
#amnestyinternational
own data.
Months before
#Amnesty
gave its highest support to far-right racist
#navalny
, an independent report () found the organisation to be systemically racist. Can you spot the difference between who gets to be a Prisoner of Conscience and who doesn't?
Questions I was asked by their lawyers in court (
@DWF_Law
): "Did your [dead Irish] mother convert to Islam? Is your husband a Buddhist? Are you raising your children as Buddhists? You didn't use the prayer room at Amnesty, did you?"

who advocated shooting Muslims using the language of genocide. Spot the racist exceptionalism by
#Amnesty
's predominantly white leaders.
In response to their claim they "heard from different voices, including minorities." an ally within
#amnestyinternational
told me "I don't remember us 'hearing the voices of minorities'. The only voices we listened to were of
#navalny
's team and his high-flying supporters."
FYI
#amnesty
: When Guterres says "Let us be ever vigilant - and always ready to act" he doesn't mean "give your highest support to those who promote racist violence using the language of genocide."
@spawnofKahn
There are two words for "Russian" in Russian. One means ethnically Russian. The other, Russian nationality. Navalny specifically uses the one referring to ethnicity in this video. Out and out racist.
#AmnestyInternational
SG has endorsed him at the highest level.
My legal case against

We must continue to point out the importance of the ways in which words are used to demonise Palestinians.
The BBC reports that 150 Palestinian captives are to be released as part of the 4 -day pause, but insists on referring to them as 'teenagers' rather than children.
@Lowkey0nline
Stephen Fry: a seemingly-endearing English, establishment celebrity, turns out to be a sinister, islamophobic genocide apologist. Racism runs so deep.
Wow. I am so sorry. The unconscionable genocidal war criminals there do not represent us, as I'm sure you saw from the thousands outside. It is unforgivable and we will never forget. Millions are mobilising and we will not stop until Palestine is free. Allah give you strength 🤲🏽
Today I went to the British Parliament to speak to MPs about how Israel killed my family, including 14 children. I begged them to vote for a ceasefire, to end the suffering of my people. And then they voted NO.
🧵It may surprise many that prior to 7 Oct, Israel was holding over 1200 Palestinians, incl nearly 200 children, as hostages (what it euphemistically calls 'administrative detention'), held indefinitely without charge, based on secret evidence, with no means of challenging it.
There is no case like it in
#amnesty
60+ year history.
#Navalny
called Chechen Muslims "giant cockroaches" then encouraged shooting Muslims.
#Islamophobia
is everywhere.
So Tories & (most of) Labour chose not to support
#ceasefire
, 125-293. We had chance to stand on right side of history - to move to political solution, stop the killing, free the hostages. MPs didn’t take it. So many voices in & outside parliament urging peace - we won’t give up
In a staggering e.g. of institutional

Are we really so naive as to expect a shred of decency from genocidal Israel after this pause? Surely they aim only to secure safe passage of hostages before continuing with impunity their genocidal onslaught? What measures will be taken to ensure this is not the case?
We are witnessing a live genocide by the State of Israel in Palestine, and I don't want to be an accomplice. Today it's Palestine, tomorrow it could be anyone.
That's why I ask you to support by signing the initiative
#ICCJusticeForGaza
I asked
@Islamchannel
to include
#navalny
'cockroach video' in their article. They said they couldn't as it breaches their policies on violent content.
#AmnestyInternational
senior leadership all know about the video.
10 yrs ago today, 1000s of Belarusians took to the streets to protest against presidential election results. 100s were detained, opposition candidates imprisoned, protesters beaten. It was a walk in the park compared to the brutality and state lawlessness unleashed this year.
Experts keep saying it is genocide. Everyone can see it is genocide. Relevant organisations and countries commentate ad nauseum to zero effect, failing to apply their own mandates or international law consistently.
🚨REALLY IMPORTANT: Why is it a Genocide & not a war?
"Israel is clearly committing three of five acts defined as genocide"
Palestinian-American lawyer Lara Elborno explains why it is correct to refer to Israel's bloody Gaza offensive as a genocide.
