UK: Pro-Palestine protesters charged with calling for 'intifada'
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pro-palestine-protesters-charged-calling-intifada-unprecedented-prosecution(www.middleeasteye.net)Three pro-Palestine protesters in the United Kingdom have been charged for allegedly chanting "intifada" at a demonstration. The charges follow an announcement by the Metropolitan and Greater Manchester police forces that they would arrest individuals for using the phrase "globalise the intifada." The individuals were charged with using threatening, abusive, or insulting words intended to stir up racial hatred. Pro-Palestine activists have denied that the chant is antisemitic or a call for violence, arguing for its interpretation as a call for uprising against oppression.
