Just over a year ago, “anti-terrorism” police turned up at the home of writer and Palestine campaigner Tony Greenstein in the English seaside town of Brighton and questioned him over a tweet he had posted saying he supports “Hamas against the Israeli army.” He was arrested and released on restrictive bail conditions.A few weeks ago, the Crown Prosecution Service charged Greenstein under the notoriously repressive and anti-democratic Terrorism Act 2000, accusing him of expressing “an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization.”
This serious charge could result in a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
We speak to Tony about the growing repression he and other activists and journalists are facing for their work in support of Palestinian liberation and how they are fighting back.
