“UK law is clear -knowingly selling a good produced on Israel's illegal settlements in the OPT is a criminal money laundering offence... The govt banned goods imports from Russian occupied areas of Ukraine. Why is Israel's illegal occupation any different?” GLAN lawyer, George Collecott 3/4

Every day the Secretary of State for Business and Trade fails to stop imports of goods from illegal settlements the UK is breaching its international law obligations and exposing the British public to potential involvement in money laundering.

The UK must take concrete steps to halt imports as #Israel escalates state violence in the #WestBank and accelerates its unlawful plans for annexation, and more widespread violations of international law. 2/4

UK government must ban imports of goods from Israel's illegal settlements. Stop criminal profit from illegal occupation.

Uyghur campaigners criticise “unacceptable” NCA failure to remake imports decision The UK’s National Crime Agency is yet to decide whether to investigate imports linked to exploitation despite a June 2024 court order.

Campaigners @uyghurcongress.bsky.social and @glanlaw.bsky.social tell me the NCA is yet to comply with a June 2024 Court of Appeal order for it to reconsider its decision not to investigate imports - despite “extensive” evidence of links to forced labour.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In 100 days since the so-called 'ceasefire' Israel has continued to kill children, women and men & destroy what remains with absolute impunity. The UK should be world leaders in upholding international law and human rights, but instead UK parts are still being used by Israel to commit atrocities.

Genocide continues: in 100 days of ‘ceasefire’ israel has killed over 483 Palestinians in Gaza and destroyed over 2,500 structures. End UK complicity. Stop all arms exports top Israel now. Image with text on black background and images of Starmer and Netanyahu.

As world leaders launch their 'Master Plan' for Gaza in #Davos and the UK Govt seemingly move towards lifting the hard fought suspension of some arms exports to Israel the #genocide continues unabated. 1/2
