A police officer at a protest for the Palestine Action hunger strikers strangled a doctor until she passed out by dragging her by the back of her hoodie, the doctor has told Novara Media.

Dr Olivia Brandon was among several medical professionals who gathered with other supporters outside HMP Bronzefield on Wednesday 17 December to demand the prison allow in an ambulance to treat a hunger striker suffering from severe chest pains.

The alleged attack came after police arrested two protesters, including psychiatric doctor Dr Ayo Moiett, who protesters say was targeted both because he is black and because he played a pivotal role in forcing the prison to eventually let the ambulance come.

    One day we will collectively wake up and understand something is fundamentally broken in our societies, God willing.

      the marxist and leninists believe this too, but i’m convinced that the accidental sharing of propaganda is more powerful and will keep us locked in this status quo until climate change forces this change upon us.
