That in the most stressful moments of rehearsal, he will still break to pray, & secretly I hope he's praying the show will be good That Juliano could never get angry with Adnan, instead shouting at everyone else, "I'll fire you all except Adnan cause I'm in his house" 4/5

As long as you read between the lines and understand how censorship already works in this country, this confirms exactly the fears people are highlighting Now is the time NPO's and their leaders must fight

People were peaceful, there was speeches, music, everyone was in masks. There was loads of young people and children. There was NO REASON for riot police and police horses to turn up

Today we spoke the words of Alaa Abd El-Fattah, writer technologist & activist imprisoned in Egypt & on hunger strike. As we demand his release, we can not ignore Britain's gas & corporate agendas & history of colonialism that play into the suppression of human rights #FreeAlaa

What I say is... This is Adnan's 2nd arrest. The 1st was after the murder of Juliano Mer Khamis our Artistic Director That 2 weeks ago his 14yr niece was murdered by Israel That The Freedom Theatre is partly in his house, so he is often targeted 2/5

Every year, thousands of people travel to England from Northern Ireland to access abortion. And even in England, abortion is still a crime without the consent of two doctors – a 24-year-old woman will stand trial next year for ordering abortion pills online:

When it comes to abortion, we must always fight for access and resources - not just rights. “My body, my choice” is meaningless if you can’t get to a clinic. Donate to @AbortionSupport to make sure people in Ireland, N. Ireland, Poland & Malta have access to abortions!
