@campaign.for.trut The Uhuru 3 were indicted by the U.S. government. The federal trial of the Uhuru 3 has begun. The egregious charges of being foreign agents don't bode well for the future of free speech and the radical Black movement. However, the movement will continue to struggle and resist these attacks on human rights. The process of jury selection on September 3rd, 2024, will mark the beginning of the federal trial of Omali Yeshitela, Chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP); Penny Hess, Chair of the African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSC); and Jesse Nevel, Chair of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM), together known as the Uhuru 3. The Uhuru 3 were indicted by the U.S. government in April 2023 on the absurd charges of being “agents of a foreign government.” Charges very similar to the indictment of W.E.B. Dubois, the internationally known Black scholar and human rights defender. Dubois was eighty-one at the time of his indictment as a supposed agent of the Soviet Union for his anti-nuclear and pro-peace advocacy. Omali Yeshitela is similarly eighty-one with an international standing as a human rights and anti-imperialist fighter for more than 60 years. The African Peoples’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement that he helped to found have been organizing and advocating for African people and colonized peoples for over 50 years. Ajamu Baraka, Chair of the Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) Coordinating Committee who will be an official observer of the trial states that: “It is only in the imagination of white supremacists that African people would need smart white people from Russia to guide our people and movement to oppose the U.S./EU/NATO proxy war against Russia and analyze and comment on all aspects of U.S. foreign policy. Internationalism has always been a core principle of our movement from the Garvey Movement and anti-fascist struggles of Africans in America and in Spain in the form of the Abraham Lincoln Brigades, as well as the International Friends of Ethiopia that opposed the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, to our support for the liberation movements in Cuba, Haiti, Africa, Central America, and Vietnam.

@campaign.for.trut Southall Black Sisters VICTORY!
#kingscross3 Campaign for Truth & Justice News Web: ctj.org.uk/news Podcast: https://www.mixcloud.com/Campaign_for_Truth_and_Justice/ctj-jul-12-2024-kings-cross-3/ On the night of Friday, 29th September 2023, Selma Taha, Executive Director of Southall Black Sisters (SBS), and her friends Divina Riggon and Danae Thomas were verbally and physically assaulted in a racist incident on London public transport. The assailant, a white woman, made monkey sounds and called Selma, Divina and Danae “Black bitches”, and “slaves”. The abuse escalated into physical violence. The attacker pulled clumps of hair off Selma and her friend and bit Selma’s flesh, leaving a deeply embedded imprint of her teeth which necessitated tetanus and hepatitis injections and antibiotics. An off-duty Metropolitan Detective Constable was present in the tube carriage but failed to intervene to de-escalate the incident. When the train arrived at King’s Cross station, the three women had to challenge the inactivity and apathy of the police to treat the matter seriously and arrest the assailant. Some months later, in a deeply shocking development, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) made the following charging decisions: No further action is to be taken against the assailant in relation to the assault. In relation to the assailant’s racist abuse, she has been offered and accepted a caution for racially aggravated conduct contrary to s4A of the Public Order Act, in relation to one instance of racist abuse which she has admitted. No further action is to be taken in relation to other instances of racist abuse by her during the incident. Selma, Divina and Danae have all been charged with common assault by beating. Danae has also been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence, in relation to alleged conduct towards a white British Transport police officer on the platform at King's Cross. Divina has also been charged with a public order offence, but without the racial aggravation, again in relation to alleged conduct towards the same police officer at the tube station after the attack. On Tuesday, 2nd July 2024, the CPS partially dropped the racist charges against the
#KingsCross3 due to lack of evidence. These being: The racially aggravated public order offence charge against Danae, in relation to alleged conduct towards a white British Transport police officer on the platform at King’s Cross. The public order offence, without the racial aggravation, against Divina, again in relation to alleged conduct towards the same police officer at the tube station after the attack. The CPS still intend to pursue a trial against Selma, Divina and Danae in relation to the charge of common assault by beating. The trial date is set for 10th, 11th and 12th July 2024 at Highbury Magistrates’ Court. Charging Selma, Divina and Danae, who were the victims of a racist attack, is a grave miscarriage of justice, and an act of criminalising Black women who dared to call out racist abuse and resist racist violence. Sign our petition calling on the CPS to drop these racist charges. On 8th July 2024, we wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to draw his attention to the public support this petition has garnered. We are also raising funds to support the
#KingsCross3 in their legal battle against the charges. Given that we operate in the underfunded violence against women and girls (VAWG) sector, your financial support will be invaluable in ensuring that the
#KingsCross3 can meet their legal costs. Please donate whatever you can to fight this manifest injustice. For further details on the crowdfunder, please visit our

@campaign.for.trut The New Cross house fire was a fire that occurred during a party at a house in New Cross, south-east London, in the early hours of Sunday, 18 January 1981. The blaze killed 13 young black people aged between 14 and 22, and one survivor killed himself two years later. No one has ever been charged in connection with the fire, which forensic science subsequently established started inside the house. Inquests into the deaths were held in 1981 and 2004. Both inquests recorded open verdicts. In the immediate aftermath of the fire, a New Cross Massacre Action Committee (NCMAC) was set up, chaired by John La Rose, which organised a "Black People's Day of Action" on 2 March 1981, when some 20,000 people marched over a period of eight hours through London, carrying placards that bore statements including: "13 Dead, Nothing Said".

Campaign for Truth & Justice Presents: Hands Off Sista Shevon Hands off Black Women Boycott Nour Cash & Carry, 23 Brixton Village, Brixton Market, SW9 8PS (opposite fishmongers in Brixton Market) DROP THE CHARGES NOW One Hour of Power every (strong) week 1pm to 2pm 20th and 27th January 2024 and ongoing Sista Shevon was refused service, treated with hostility, physically assaulted, verbally and sexually harassed – called a ‘Black whore’. False allegations were made against her, resulting in 4 serious criminal charges. She ended up being arrested in full view of the community shopping in Brixton, a great embarrassment and affront to her personal dignity and reputation. At the police station, she was subjected to a strip-search and left naked in the cell whilst male officers viewed her – adding further humiliation, and refused a phone call to a solicitor or friend. Court case due in February 2024. The attack against Sista Shevon is part of the systematic, institutional racist attack against our community. These parasitical traders’ attacks, supported and escalated by the police (state) is indicative of the general treatment of a colonised people by a colonial state. These parasitical traders in our community take our money and disrespect us, in particular our women. These attacks and abuses will not stop until we recognise we are a Nation and we must build and support our own Nation (business) building institutions. The African United Front is now formed. Our attempts at negotiating a solution with Nour Cash & Carry has been rejected. We demand: • Community boycott Nour Cash & Carry • A public apology and compensation for Sista Shevon • Drop the charges now • Support Black businesses • Charge Peckham trader for non-fatal strangulation • Brixton – Peckham – Africa. One Struggle, One Fight. • Support United African Front For further information on the Sista Shevon Community Support Campaign – 07404 308 634 Enough is Enough One Hour of Power Touch One Touch All
