121 organizations, parties, politicians, prominent figures, and student encampments have signed our statement condemning the actions of South Wales Police, targeting pro-Palestine activists. 🚨
CARDIFF! YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! 🚨
We've outnumbered the fascists last Saturday, Sunday and Friday. And now we come out in our masses to draw a line, very clearly, that Cardiff does not tolerate hate, racism, or fascism. ✊
HAPPENING NOW! SIT-IN IN CARDIFF CENTRAL STATION! 🚨
JOIN US! We MUST escalate our actions - this government will not listen unless we force them to!
HANDS OFF RAFAH! 📣
HAPPENING NOW! SIT-IN AT ST DAVIDS SHOPPING CENTRE, CARDIFF! 🇵🇸🇵🇸
The UK just handed Elbit Systems, the genocidal arms company that provides over 80% of Israel's drone technology, new contracts. 🚨
We call on the UK govt to end their complicit in genocide! 📣
THESE ARE OUR STREETS! 📣
You are not welcome in our city - we outnumber you and your five mates. Cardiff is an anti-fascist city!
FASCIST SCUM OFF OUR STREETS! 📣
Islamic chants being blasted at full volume from a mosque in Cardiff, the capital of Wales.
This is unacceptable. This is Britain, not Saudi Arabia. We are a Christian nation.
We turned out today! We occupied Starbucks and made our voices heard! 🇵🇸
We will be doing a separate post on the conduct of
@swpolice
today. They followed activists and harassed them, sometimes physically.
HAPPENING NOW! We are blocking Castle Street as our government continue to be complicit in genocide - and Israel continue bombing Rafah. 📣
There will be no normality whilst our government support a genocide! 🇵🇸
ZARA OCCUPIED. ✅
Zara have shown themselves to be supportive of the genocide which is attempting to make extinct the Palestinians in Gaza and have even based an ad campaign on their mockery.
We won't take that lightly. 🍉
HAPPENING NOW! The people have occupied Castle Street in response to Israel's massacre of Rafah, with 1.4 million Palestinians trapped in an area the size of an airport, being bombed. 📣
We are complicit! We call on the UK government to stop arming Israel! 🇵🇸

URGENT CALL TO ACTION! 🚨🚨
After out numbering the fascists 400 to 20, they have organised ANOTHER demonstration in Cardiff tomorrow (Sunday), at 5PM. 📣
We NEED to be there 4PM. These are our streets. We do not tolerate fascism in Cardiff.
BE THERE! 🫵
Your son drowns in a river, surrounded by 14 white boys. An investigation takes place and there is enough evidence for a prosecution.
However, you are told that the death of your son does not warrant enough public interest. Sickening.
#JusticeForChristopherKapessa
Just to avoid any confusion - we are pro Palestine, which means we're anti the apartheid, racist state of Israel. A state that murders and cages Palestinian children, deports Black Jewish refugees, and persecutes their own Black citizens.
There is no 'if', there is no 'but'.
CALL TO ACTION! CALLING ALL ANTI-FASCISTS! 🚨
JOIN OUR COUNTER DEMO! 📣
We have information that the fascists have called for a riot in Cardiff outside the Motorpoint Arena at 1PM, this Friday, 9 Aug.
Meet at the lightning bolt outside St David's 2 at 12PM (near Admiral). ⚡️
We've had word that the exact same thing has happened in Cardiff.
A mother has been contacted by social services and her child may now be deemed as 'at risk' because she took her to a protest. Her 14-year-old daughter will also be receiving a fine. ⚠️
.
@swpolice
are scum. Literal scum.
Two children have died because of how they have handled this.
We need to organize in our communities to protect ourselves from the pigs.
If you are from Ely, and you would like to speak to us, please message.

At today's demonstration for Palestine in Swansea,
@swpolice
assaulted protestors and fractured the rib of a 70 year old lady.
These are sick people. 🐷
HAPPENING NOW!
Cardiff University students are conducting a sit-in in the Centre of Student Life. They demand Cardiff cut its ties to complicit companies involved in the genocide of the Palestinian people! 🇵🇸
Featuring a flute rendition of the Palestinian national anthem!
AMPLIFY! SHARE! This was the behaviour of South Wales Police to peaceful protestors last night in Cardiff. They arrested around 17 activists in one day.
We arrived to protest the unacceptable arrest of a Palestine activist who uses a mobility aid, being snuck up on and pulled
RISE UP FOR SUDAN! AND JOIN US ON THE GLOBAL MARCH FOR SUDAN THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 13! 🇵🇸🇸🇩
Palestine and Sudan: together in struggle! We are merging marches to give some urgent attention to Sudan, which is currently facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
HUGE NEWS ON MOHAMUD'S CASE. 🚨
It has been leaked to us that in a 'community reference group' meeting, the IOPC admitted that from the time Mohamud was taken into custody to the day he was released, he came into contact with '50 plus police officers'.
FIFTY PLUS.
RETWEET!
What are our demands for Sudan, how is the UK complicit, and what can we even do about it? 🇸🇩
The answer can be as long as we want - but it should always end with peace and justice for Sudan and long live the revolution! 📣
19 IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS! 🚨
We must make this a national campaign to ensure that those arrested do not face any charges! That the police respect our right to protest.
This is an escalation at a level not seen anywhere in the UK
Police when it's a vigil for Mohamud Hassan, Sarah Everard: we're going to beat you, arrest you, and fine you £10,000.
Police when it's a vigil for a 99-year-old royal: right this way, sir.
SATURDAY, 10 AUGUST. 1PM. NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST. 🚨
Do you think fascist gangs should be able to throw bricks and petrol bombs at mosques or storm and set on fire a hotel while refugees are in it?
Is this the kind of country you want?
If not, join us this Saturday! 🫵

This is exactly how the capitalist system works, it dehumanises Black lives, Black art and Black culture.
Great turnout today to stand in solidarity with
#justice4mohamud
. ✊🏿🚨
See you tomorrow, 3pm outside the police station. We will not rest until justice is served. 📣
Let's make this huge! 🇵🇸

We have been informed that an individual who protested with us around two months ago, fighting for

RIDICULOUS!
PALESTINIAN DIE IN AT CARDIFF PRIDE. 🇵🇸
Cardiff Pride is proudly sponsored by Principality Building Society, who bank w/ Barclays Bank, and allows Barclays to march in Cardiff Pride.
Barclays has 2 BILLION in shares & provides 6 BILLION in loans to companies making 💣🧨 on 🇵🇸
Success! Over 20 people turned up to stare down and resist the bailiffs and cops who were trying to force entry into a young Somali man's property because of a rail fare fine. 👮♂️❌
Please send us any footage you have via DM. 🤳
Wales - where a Black boy, so badly beaten by bullies, has had to have his finger amputated.
We know what can happen when racist students outcast a Black boy here in Wales - Christopher Kapessa (
@JKapessa
) lost his life over it.
@ALC_SECONDARY
- what have you got to say?
HAPPENING NOW! WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE! 📣
We make this country ungovernable as long as this country is committed to funding the genocide of the Palestinians! 🇵🇸
WE SHUT DOWN BARCLAYS! 🏦❌
When we arrived lights were on and genocide complicity was in full gear. When we left, lights were off and Barclays had been SHUT DOWN.
Barclays invest over a billion pounds into genocide and we have the power to stop them. Don't bank with Barclays!
The 28th week in a row and the momentum doesn't stop! 🇵🇸
Cardiff says FREE PALESTINE!
There was a small pro Israeli demo that purposefully stood in front of us at the beginning, but they were quickly shouted down and left. Their genocide support has no place on our streets.
Just when
@swpolice
release the woman from Gaza and her 12 year old daughter from custody - they then arrest another Swansea protestor! 🚨
They are out of control - that is NINETEEN PEOPLE ARRESTED IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS. 📣
RETWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT! 📣

This movement keeps getting stronger and growing bigger day by day. 7 months of the Israeli state's genocide and we will not resisting until Palestine is free! 📣
The biggest protest movement in the history of Cardiff.
Words cannot comprehend the damage to the Palestinian mind and body, a genocide apathetically watched on by our 'world leaders'.

HUNDREDS OF THE STREETS OF CARDIFF FOR PALESTINE! 🇵🇸

Huge news from the
@JKapessa
campaign! 🚨
The judge allowed the application on five grounds, including that the CPS's decision failed to "properly value human life" and that "undue and improper weight" was given to the impact of the prosecution on the teenage suspect.
HAPPENING NOW! HANDS OFF RAFAH! 🚨
We are hearing that Israel is refusing ANOTHER ceasefire proposal - truly the most barbaric entity. 📣
We will not let 40,000 Palestinians die in vain, ceasefire or not. We want a LIBERATED PALESTINE.

Are you angry?! Then show up!
We'd list every reason as to why you should turn up to this, but it would be an essay. So we'll just see you there.
No organiser for this!
As you are all aware, one of our activists was fined for 'organising' the protests. We have a few things to say about this - the first is that
@BBCNews
have conveniently missed out the part where the police took two RIOT VANS to her house and were banging repeatedly on her door.
An incredible success! Cardiff students, you came out in force!
Student organisation is a vital part of any movement for liberation and it is great to see so many take action today.
With the kindness of students and the Pink Kiwi cafe We brought cakes and hoodies with all /1
SAVE THE DATE! WE MARCH FOR SUDAN! 📣
29 June, 12:30PM at Nye Bevan Statue, Cardiff. 🇸🇩
Across Sudan, defiant protesters returned to the streets in their millions on 30 June 2019 in the wake of the June 3rd Khartoum massacre.

📍 Rotherham
📍 Birmingham
@sutrbrum
📍 Weymouth
📍 Lancaster
STOP ARMING ISRAEL! STOP BOMBING GAZA! 🇵🇸📣
Cardiff comes out in big numbers for the 27th week in a row. Twenty seven! ✊
Frankly, however, it's 27 too many. But we must continue, towards the 28th, 29th, until this genocide ends and Palestine is free.
🇵🇸 ARMS FACTORIES SHUT DOWN🔥
Over 100 activists have formed peace pickets, blocking two weapons factories arming Israel.
Halting all Elbit Systems operations in the south west.
Elbit produce 85% of Israeli weaponary, including drones & land-based military equipment. 🇵🇸
