This is Mark Bonnick, Arsenal’s ex-kitman, fired after speaking out against Zionism and the genocide in Gaza. He says it’s the same as what Özil faced for defending Uyghurs, and what Elneny faced for supporting Palestine. Speaking up gets you punished at Arsenal.
Over the past 22 months, censorship of Palestinian solidarity voices has intensified — with a real impact on our legal community. It’s time we came together to organise. ELSC will be speaking at this @UVWunion event on resisting repression in the legal sector. 📋 Take…

WE WON AGAIN! The Administrative Court in Berlin has deemed the ban on Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah's political activities and public speaking in Germany which was imposed by Berlin's Migration office in April 2024. ELSC & @ICJPalestine have previously succeeded in overturning the ban…
🚨ICJP @elsclegal succeed in German @GhassanAbuSitt1 court case!🚨 German courts have ruled that the freedom of speech ban on Dr Ghassan was unlawful, and it has now been overturned. Ghassan continues to face legal attacks. You can support him here: gofundme.com/f/ghassan-abu-…
A German court has just ruled that the travel ban imposed on me by the German government was illegal. The genocide enablement system is crumbling.
A brilliant interview featuring my client Mark Bonnick, who is suing @Arsenal for unfair dismissal after he criticised Israel and Zionism on twitter. Please pressure Arsenal to give him back his job! Criticising genocide is good, actually. youtu.be/MZVDP11B94o?si…
Today, ICJP and @elsclegal are taking action on behalf of @GhassanAbuSitt1 in German courts, seeking to overturn the ban on his freedom of speech in Germany. Last year, we overturned a related ban on his freedom of movement in the Schengen Area. scottishlegal.com/articles/glasg…

I hope #Meta just made a mistake, and will soon correct it, with an apology to Professor @luigidaniele10. If "community standards" are invoked to silence human rights advocacy, it is not the global community the standards are protecting. And none of us can feel safe in such a…

Auba turned up late for training (having visited his ill mother) and Arteta banished him from the club Özil spoke about a genocide in China and he was ostracised Kit man Mark Bonnick spoke about Palestine and he was sacked on the spot But they kept playing Partey every week 😵💫
Update: The High Court has rejected the #PalestineAction urgent application against its proscription. In the words of the judge: "I have concluded that the harm which would ensue if interim relief is refused but the claim later succeeds is insufficient to outweigh the strong…
