HISTORY IN THE MAKING Sara Salyers announces: https://t.co/lo6Ky4cTth Scotland knows what genocide means; it knows what ethnic cleansing means. You only have to read any fair-minded history of Scotland's treatment by England-as-Britain in the 18th century, as it desperately tried to escape England's colonial clutches. The Scots people understand what Palestinians are suffering today—a similar unspeakable effacement by a despotic power. Just as as they understood and responded to the suffering of the colonised peoples of South Africa. Salvo is today getting ready to lend its weight to an imminent legal challenge under the Claim of Right to the abuse of Scots law by a British government which has outlawed non-violent protest against the most heinous of all human rights abuses—genocide. Never before has such a challenge been brought before Scotland's supreme court, the Court of Session, and never before has the Claim of Right, so remarkably specific in its law condemning the misuse of laws such at the British 2000 Terrorism Act, been tested. This is an historic moment here at home in Scotland, while Liberation makes parallel history by challenging at the United Nations England-as-UK’s indefensible ‘voluntary partner’ narrative. Sara Salyers explains this legal challenge in her ever calm and eloquent style, outside the Scottish Parliament today, at the All Under One Banner rally. Please watch. This is history in the making.
