On this day, 5 Oct 1968: a banned civil rights march on Duke Street, Derry, met violent RUC attacks – filmed and broadcast worldwide. It ignited a movement for change. #CivilRights68

Met plunged into crisis amid fresh claims of misogyny and racism Commissioner Mark Rowley says prejudice has ‘put down deep roots’ within force after BBC Panorama investigation

Racism, misogyny, violence and corruption. Reports, recommendations and promises of change. Policing has proved itself incapable of reform. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Mahmood: Pro-Palestinian protests 'un-British' after terror attack The home secretary told BBC Breakfast she was disappointed pro-Palestinian protests went ahead.

Labour or Conservative, governments always find a way to demonise Palestine solidarity protests – this time Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's version of Suella Braverman's "hate marches" is "un-British" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Asad Rehman’s journey from antiracism campaigner in Burnley to head of Friends of the Earth Climate crisis is ‘interconnected crisis of inequality’, says Rehman, who began organising at his school in the 1970s

Friend of 30 years, Asad reminds us: the climate crisis is a crisis of justice, deeply tied to inequality and racial injustice.

Explainer: Soldier F on Trial for Bloody Sunday Murders - Human Rights First The trial of Former British paratrooper Lance Corporal Soldier F opened this week in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is charged with two murders and five attempted murders on Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1...

The trial of former British paratrooper Soldier F opened in Belfast yesterday, 53 years after #BloodySunday. He is charged with 2 murders & 5 attempted murders. Our Sr. advisor @dooleydooley.bsky.social tells you what you needs to know in this brief explainer. #speirgorm

On 17 September 2024 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding that Israel end its “unlawful presence” in occupied Palestinian territory, withdraw its military forces, end all new settlement activity and evacuate all existing settlers from occupied land.

Today, after decades of campaigning by the families of the 97 people unlawfully killed at the Hillsborough Football Disaster, the government will introduce the Hillsborough Law to Parliament.

The families have campaigned tirelessly to ensure future families don’t face the same injustice.

Next Tuesday, the Know Your Rights to Protest Guide will be launched in Derry.

Headline in the Guardian on an opinion piece by David Lammy: "Hillsborough, Grenfell, Windrush, the Post Office scandal: the guilty escape justice. Well, not any more"

Lammy's own complicity in the genocide in Gaza hangs heavily over the new justice secretary insisting on a duty to act with "honesty and integrity at all times" or face criminal prosecution. He knows the guilty, like him, will escape justice

Soldier F has been charged with two counts of murder in the cases of William McKinney and Jim Wray, and five counts of attempted murder in the cases of Michael Quinn, Joseph Friel, Joseph Mahon, Patrick O'Donnell and 'persons unknown'.

This morning, the Bloody Sunday families, supporters, and representatives of other justice campaigns marched to the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast for the murder trial of Soldier F
