‘It feels like being suffocated’: Palestine Action activist in HMP Peterborough vows to continue hunger strike Teuta Hoxha says she remains determined despite growing fears for her health and five other prisoners staging protest

My heart and my soul are called by this. How can we watch another hunger strike by occupied people who are resisters, not criminals? These hunger strikers will die soon, and they have not been convicted of anything.

I keep thinking about what it means to “politely look away.” From Long Kesh to Gaza to family courts — how many times can we ignore what the law itself forbids? #RuleOfLaw #GenevaConventions #LongKesh #ViolenceAgainstWomen #silence

Civility and captivity were never opposites. They share a border made of candlelight and silence. The years since have been spent trying not to look away.

I was twelve or thirteen when my uncle pointed across the lough and said, “That’s Long Kesh.” My grandmother shushed him. We went back to our supper, politely looking away.

The Iranian government renamed Winston Churchill Boulevard, the location of the British Embassy in Tehran, to Bobby Sands Street. This forced the embassy to move its entrance to Ferdowsi Street to avoid using Bobby Sands Street on its letterhead. 3/3

Use to follow “The Troubles” a lot & fight for a free united #Ireland. Like #FirstNations the republican movement and Ireland feel the impact of colonialism. Mass incarceration of Indigenous women/youth/men echo #LongKesh alive & well in Canada.
