Taking a clear stand against the frame-up conviction of #LucyLetby is an elementary act of defending the interest of all workers against injustice and the attacks by the bosses on our livelihoods and working conditions. We urge the left to endorse the protest and to join us on 17 March in Liverpool.

The campaign to #FreeLucyLetby is gathering steam and our protest on 17 March in Liverpool is galvanising the forces who want to show their support to her, including some who have been consistent defenders of Lucy Letby.

Raids have also been carried out against pro-Palestine activists. The use of anti-terror laws against these activists is a threat to all opponents of British foreign policy.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in response to NATO provocation, #socialists in Russia and Ukraine who have spoken out in opposition to the war have been met with brutal repression by both governments. It is urgent that we fight to free #BogdanSyrotiuk and #BorisKagarlitsky. Read more below.
