Very Glad to hear this but the @Nusuk have a lot to answer for and should commence an independent Inquiry into Islamophobia - To date this has never been done. I covered the highly invested case against @ShaimaDallali and it was riddled with racialised surveillance.
See below!
The National Union of Student's witch hunt against an elected Muslim president has ended. They admit having pro-Palestine and anti-zionist beliefs are protected under the Equalities Act. A major victory. Well done @ShaimaDallali . They spent 1m on investigating Shaima. Unreal.

72 months since 72 people died. A month for every life lost.
Six years, and not a single person has been held to account.
Join us at the silent walk. Stand in solidarity against our two tiered justice system.
Those responsible must be held accountable.

72 months since 72 people including 18 children were murdered in their home Grenfell in London by reckless negligence and all warnings of a cladding fire ignored by @RBKC and KCTMO. 6 years later we still haven’t got justice for these people, their families and community. RIP 🕊️

These were the last words of some of the residents of Grenfell Tower as the fire closed in on them 6 years ago.
Those responsible for their deaths; Rydon, Arconic, Kingspan, and Celotex, had collective profits of £4.9 billion since the fire, none of them charged.

As we mark 75 years since the Nakba, it's crucial to acknowledge Britain's historic role in the dispossession and disenfranchisement of the Palestinian people, and its implications for British policy today. [THREAD]

This is from 2020. The names of the people who died in police custody and by the police mustn't be forgotten. A loved one killed and get NO JUSTICE!
