Yes. UK is making itself a laughing stock arresting these peaceful, & often elderly, protestors trying to bring attention to terrible wrongs. Your wider point makes clear how broader harms arise from this ridiculous situation:
“Everything else aside, just such a dumb idea to devalue a term reserved for one of the worst crimes, make people stop taking the word seriously, and undermine the broad support for systems in place to tackle terrorism.” 😐

Thanks for stating it so clearly. 🙂

Greens candidate Hannah Thomas was injured by police while peacefully protesting on public land outside a company that provides weapon parts to Israel.

A brutal use of excessive force has left Hannah seriously injured - needing surgery and risks losing sight in her eye.

The police and Minns government choose to protect weapons companies over people. SHAME

#GretaThunberg is calling me to activism. And you.

Let's speak up and out.
Let's demand responsibility from the cock-fencing, greedy egomaniacs in power.
Let's break the toxic cycle of manipulation, disinformation and consumption-as-a-pacifier.

Together. We. Can:
Create political and economical systems that serve the many, not the few.
Call to justice the polluters, war mongers, cockamaniacs.
Come together as a people to sow hope and peace and community.

The Velvet Revolution (1989, Czechoslovakia) and The Philippine People Power Revolution (1986) are proof of the power of peaceful mass movements.
