Arrested on trumped-up terrorism charges

Natalie Strecker is a British pro-Palestinian activist who was a human rights monitor in Hebron (OPT). Now based in the Bailiwick of Jersey, she is a leading member of Jersey Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Leaving Labour

In November 2020, Natalie Strecker described her political journey, how she joined Labour under Jeremy Corbyn and why she had since left the party:

My red line was when the ‘Labour Leaks’ came out and I was forced to recognise that the Labour Party was rotten to the core and that if we could not reform it when the left were in control, we have no hope now it has resumed business as usual. I realised that there is institutional racism that isn’t and wasn’t being addressed, but not the kind we had been told about, a racism that saw a black female MP not even being able to find solace and dignity as she cried in the toilets.

Unbeknown to us, we were constantly fighting and campaigning with one hand tied behind our backs as the extreme centrists and/or supporters of Israeli apartheid used every means at their disposal to throw the 2017 election. Real, despicable examples of antisemitism were sat on and then released to the media in order to destroy the reputation of a decent man.

Once this was all revealed to me in the report and that the perpetrators of this treachery, this racism, this misogyny, were to suffer no real consequence (instead a hunt commenced for the whistleblowers), it became obvious that the new leader definitely was not ‘for the many’. I asked myself, how could I in good conscience continue to support financially or indeed in any way such a party.

Arrested by Jersey Police

On 16 November 2024, Chris Williamson posted on X:

My good friend and comrade @JerseyPSC was arrested by @JerseyPolice at 6:30am this morning on trumped-up terrorism charges for speaking out against the #genocide in #Gaza. It seems the Gestapo never left Jersey.

The charges are risible and Natalie should be released immediately.

Operation Incessantness

Jonathan Cook posted on X:

Police “Operation Incessantness” has a new victim. When the right to protest a genocide is criminalised, what rights do we really still have?
