Latest From Resistance Kitchen

Today the Resistance Kitchen joined Migrants Organise and Reclaim Croydon outside the new Home Office building in Ruskin Square in Croydon as part of the campaign to Abolish Reporting for migrants.

As we marked 172 days that the #Filton18 have been unjustly imprisoned for trying to stop genocide, they have had to endure a particularly cruel week with the new management at HMP Bronzefield cancelling around half of all visits to the Filton 18 detainees with no explanation, often last minute. Other prisoners have not been targeted.

Today the Resistance Kitchen wrote to Jonathan Hall, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation and invited him to meet Filton 18 detainee Fatema Zainab in HMP Bronzefield so he can understand first hand the impact the abuse of counter terrorism powers has on ordinary lives.

Palestine Action coordinated a phone in requesting people to all phone the prison on the same day politely demanding Fatema Zainab's right to mail be respected. It was very effective and for the first time new mail is trickling in to her.

Yesterday, on 9th January, in the early hours two Mosques in Croydon were attacked with racist Islamophobic graffiti.

The London Police Ethics Panel has indicated that they will consider our report on the Mets deployment of live facial recognition surveillance in Croydon as part of their five year review of Metropolitan Police use of live facial recognition in London. Our report documents systemic racism in how the technology is used by the Met and also bias in the technology against people of colour.

On 21st December, the week before Christmas, the Resistance Kitchen marked 137 days that the #Filton10 have been unjustly caged without trial, simply for opposing genocide, by trying to stop the flow of arms from Israel's arms facilities in the UK to fuel genocide in Gaza. The week began with a second protest outside HMP Bronzefield where most of the #Filton18 women are imprisoned.

Last week the Resistance kitchen had the honour of visiting an amazing project - Reclaim Croydon's Winter Shelter. Run entirely by dedicated volunteers, Reclaim Croydon's Winter Shelter is an independent housing group that provides shelter to the street homeless over the winter. They do incredible work supporting the most vulnerable in our community.

On Saturday 15th December activists from Merton Friends of Palestine, and Croydon4Palestine marched from East Croydon to Brixton. On the way they stopped at the Resistance Kitchen to show their solidarity with the #Filton10, who have been unjustly imprisoned without trial for 130 days, for trying to stop genocide.

On 7th December the Resistance Kitchen marked 127 days that the #Filton10 have been unjustly imprisoned for dismantling Israeli armaments destined for use in the commission of Genocide in Gaza.

On 30th November the Resistance Kitchen marked 116 days that the #Filton10 have been unjustly imprisoned without trial for disrupting the flow of weapons fuelling Israel's genocide in Gaza. One of the #Filton10 - Fatema Zainab is still being singled out and denied her mail.

On Saturday 23rd of November, as the Resistance Kitchen marked 109 days that the #Filton10 have been unjustly imprisoned for trying to stop genocide in Gaza, eight more activists were imprisoned for allegedly taking part in the same action of smashing an Israeli armaments research and production facility near Bristol.
