🚨I wanted to raise the alarm on some important new amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which the government has quietly tabled (thread)

You can read the amendments from page 18 of this bills.parliament.uk/publications/4…
In short, there are five big changes which will very significantly limit the right to protest. The government will say these are a response to Insulate Britain but in reality these are aimed at any large-scale disruptive protest like @ExtinctionR and Black Lives Matter
First: making "locking on" and "being equipped for locking on" criminal offences

A law which should strike fear into any dual national or those who can obtain alternative citizenship (including Jewish people so me). Arendt said there could be no human rights without citizenship - the “right to have rights”. It should *never* be removed without due process
Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
“Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”
This is the new Clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill. Allows the Home Secretary to avoid giving notice of stripping somebody of citizenship, also known as civic death, if “it would for any other reason not be reasonably practicable to give notice” publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…

The statements Azeem Rafiq made 10 years ago were plainly antisemitic. He has apologised. That issue (which arose I guess because of increased scrutiny from being a whistleblower) has no bearing at all on the *truth* or *implications* of the racism he experienced.
The world is complicated. eg. there are Jews who are racist and also experience inexcusable antisemitism. I think it is up to every person to face up to their own prejudices (which it sounds like Rafiq is doing) but nobody deserves to have their dignity violated in the way he has
I think social media has made us so personality focussed - obsessed - that we find it difficult to separate the person from the points they are making. I hope that this "revelation" doesn't undermine any of the important lessons we need to learn from his experiences.

I know people don't like Insulate Britain's tactics but we also need to consider 'persons unknown' injunctions are a kind of private criminal law system available to companies and public authorities who get to draft laws (if approved by courts) and then bring private prosecutions
This is fundamentally different to our democratically elected lawmakers voting in new criminal laws through parliamentary process. Injunctions are usually unopposed, little or no debate over the impact on rights to protest, sentences of up to 2 years imprisonment if you breach
The reality is that parliament's approach to obstructing the highway has been that prison sentences are not available. Rather than change the law through parliament, the department of transport obtained a private injunction.

This is a huge moment - the first time, as far as I know, that non-violent protesters have been imprisoned for contempt of court after breaching a 'persons unknown' injunction. I hope they appeal
* hope they appeal to ensure that the higher courts review the freedom of speech elements of these sentences. I am not condoning the protest tactics (or making any comment), but this is an important moment legally which shouldn't be swept up in public anger
My concerns about the injunctions which have been breached

Quite horrified to see the Home Secretary on the front pages blaming the “legal services industry” for the Liverpool hospital bomber still being in the UK. BBC reporting he had his appeal rejected in 2017 so unclear why Home Office hadn’t removed him ImageImage
And even so, it is pure political opportunism to say the asylum system was somehow to blame for someone deciding to blow themselves up outside of a Children’s Hospital without knowing the full facts and motivations. It’s grotesque
What does the Home Secretary think that stoking anger against lawyers in a terrorism situation, which plainly has absolutely nothing to do with lawyers, will achieve? For her cheap little political point lawyers will get targeted by angry members of the public
