As tens of thousands return to the streets for the first national Palestine march of 2026, this movement refuses to be sidelined or silenced, says PETER LEARY
AS WE approach another annual St Andrew’s march and rally, we must acknowledge that this is a crucial year for the fight against racism.
The Sheku Bayoh Family Justice Campaign needs our continuing support as their inquiry continues, racist British government immigration policy and rhetoric are only getting worse and we face a cost-of-living crisis with attacks on pay that disproportionately impact black workers.
The Bayoh family’s bravery and tenacity to keep fighting for justice for Sheku must be commended. Sheku died in police custody on the May 3 2015. It’s the family’s courage and perseverance that has led to the public inquiry and is ensuring that Sheku is not forgotten. and that power is held to account.
