On this day in 1999, Bernie Grant MP called for an official state apology for enslavement and colonialism during #PMQs
26 years on, the British government has still not truly apologised.
Sign our petition calling on them to do so ✍🏿

Britain has never truly apologised for its role in African chattel enslavement and colonialism.
Our petition calls for the government to issue an official state apology and take the first steps towards reparatory justice.

There can be no justice for you here, while Britain still continues to exercise dominion over colonized peoples all across the world. - Esther Stanford-Xosei @STOPMAANGAMIZI@Xosei
Ahead of a people’s assembly on a momentous day for justice in the UK.
Breaking: Right to fair trial disappearing.
As @attorneygeneral tries to remove “belief in consent” defence today, Judge Reid has suspended a trial of 5 @XRebellionUK activists. Saying he expects to use the Court of Appeal ruling on Thursday.
This is an attempt to remove our #righttoprotest and undermine our juries.

“Ultimately, the first thing we need is for the UK to accept some responsibility,” @BellRibeiroAddy said, at the first @appg_ar conference in October in London. “We are making the progress [on reparations] which some people have fought decades for." https://t.co/ZjKUDXilD7
“We’re in a unique time,” says @Xosei of @STOPMAANGAMIZI, although she remains cautious about surface-level changes. “We have our elites speaking on behalf of our communities... to just redistribute resources to colonial states is not repair." https://t.co/ZjKUDXilD7
While Britain's political establishment has refused to apologise for Britain’s role in the slave trade, civil society is working harder than ever to remedy historic horrors. My new report for @AJEnglish, highlighting the push for reparations in the UK https://t.co/ZjKUDXilD7
This is in the context of rising threats to community activists in Namibia 🚨
The UK Home Office continues to deny the threat to life against indigenous peoples in Namibia and efforts exposing the sham government.
But we the people WILL NOT BE SILENT!
