"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear." (Nemik's Manifesto)

That is where we are. A government confident in its legitimacy could have completely undermined yesterday's protest by *not arresting people*. Instead, millions will wake up this morning more angry than they were yesterday, more aware of the true nature of this government. #DefendOurJuries

On Friday 8 August at 12:30 Peace Action Wellington & Justice for Palestine will be holding a rally and march starting at the UK High Commission on Hill Street and going to Police HQ. The protest has been framed around the proscription of the UK group Palestine Action, but is intended to be a warning to our domestic lawmakers that we are not going to be silenced in the face of state-sanctioned genocide, and any attacks on our human rights will be met with vigorous opposition.
