CAAT - CAAT’s Media Coordinator arrested for wearing a kufiya in Whitehall This is the dystopian, authoritarian country we now live in - one where you can end up sitting in a cell because the police believe you might protest.

CAAT’s Media Coordinator Emily Apple, who is also a member of Netpol's core team, was arrested on 9 October for simply wearing a Palestinian kufiya in Whitehall. This is the dystopian, authoritarian country we now live in

BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

Bar graphs that show how safety was still not good enough, how for some children, relationships with staff were poor, and how time out of cell varied across establishments. Donut charts that show who the children in our survey are. 99% identified as male; 1 in 3 reported having a disability; including any physical, mental or learning needs that affected their day-to-day live; 2 in 5 were unsentenced or on remand and 10% reported having children of their own. Donut charts that show some groups continue to be overrepresented: 33% were Muslim, 8% were from the Traveller community, 63% were from an ethnic group other than white, 46% had health problems (including mental health) and 65% reported having been in local authority care.

In this year's Children in custody report, many of the issues identified in our 2023-24 inspections remained.
