SOAS Against Surveillance & Securitisation

SOAS Against Surveillance & Securitisation is a student and staff campaign at SOAS challenging the increased securitisation of the university.

[Tarek Younis @Tarek_Younis_]

We're seeing an unprecedented criminalisation of Palestinian solidarity.

Just a reminder: we just launched a community-led support service for Muslims who've been impacted by policing, prisons or the criminal justice system. It's free.

Keep this in mind and please share!

HAPPENING NOW: Over *400* trade unionists are blocking the entrances to BAE Systems Rochester, which provides parts for aircraft being used right now in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

Some ppl might fear there will be 'argy bargy' (look, I too can speak the language of power).

It will be very large, with lots of children and older ppl. Also lots of white ppl. Ppl will welcome you if you need someone to march alongside.

It might be crowded but not dangerous.

Health workers in their hundreds are currently gathered outside the Department of Health and Social Care demanding an immediate ceasefire, an end to UK complicity in the genocide in Gaza, and a justice and peace informed resolution to the occupation of Palestine

immigration enforcement at @glastonbury.

They said they’re here monitoring for “adverse reactions” to them, as justification to speak to people. the hostile environment extends everywhere

[Shreeta Lakhani @LakhaniShreeta]

During the cost of living crisis, SOAS is deducting 100% of our pay for taking part in the national @ucu marking boycott. This is a cruel tactic to intimidate workers and starve out lawful action, but YOU can help us resist by donating to our hardship fund! More details 👇🏾

[Preventing Prevent Cambridge @PreventingC]

The Prevent review urges the British government to adopt France's approach to tackling 'non-violent extremism'. Peter Oborne, Dr Layla Aitlhadj and Prof John Holmwood discuss its implications in this special episode of Preventing Prevent Cambridge: https://t.co/2wkIUUVnBd

[No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 @NExclusions]

The new DfE school exclusions and behaviour in schools guidance documents were published yesterday. Here is a thread of thoughts/points of note based on an initial reading 🧵

[No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 @NExclusions]

@NMEBristol going to light it up 🔥🔥 🧯 🧯🧯

“As abolitionists, we do not see school exclusions as an end in itself but as an essential part of a much broader process of transforming the education & social justice system.”

From “What About the Other 29?”

[Shreeta Lakhani @LakhaniShreeta]

On Tuesday @StpDeportations showed us how direct action works! Now, it’s important for us to come together as a community to support those who are facing criminal charges by donating! Please donate and share widely

A friend of mine had her door kicked in by police when she was out. They had the wrong address. She had to pay £1500 to urgently replace the door & locks — and now police are refusing to compensate her. Any lawyers who can help?

Tonight!!!

[Medact @Medact]

Will you sign our pledge to challenge #Prevent & the securitisation of healthcare?

We're asking the health community to pledge to work against the expansion of securitisation policies & practices within healthcare.

Media outlets need to be honest about what happened at Al Aqsa Mosque last night. These were not clashes. Israeli forces raided one of the holiest sites in Islam and attacked thousands of worshippers with rubber bullets, tear gas and sound grenades. 152 Palestinians were injured.
