The posters’ depiction of Hamas paragliders supposedly indicated the women supported the group - a crime in the UK

Two British women have been charged with terrorism offenses for carrying posters showing Hamas militants paragliding at a pro-Palestine demonstration, the Crown Prosecution Service announced on Friday.

“Heba Alhayey, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, have been charged with single counts of carrying or displaying an article, namely an image displaying a paraglider, to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of a proscribed organization, namely Hamas,” the prosecutor stated, describing the actions as violations of Britain’s Terrorism Act 2000.

Both women could face up to six months’ prison time for bringing the posters to the protest, which took place in central London last month.

Pro-Palestine demonstrations spearheaded by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign have drawn thousands into the streets of London since Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas.

Protesters continued to wave Palestinian flags and chant lines like “from the river to the sea” despite a warning from Home Secretary Suella Braverman that both could potentially constitute criminal offenses.

Yeonmi_Park.jpg: "In the UK thinking wrong is a crime. Supporters of anything but the regime's official stance are labeled a hate group and prosecuted under laws they claimed to pass to protect minorities. Also if you display appreciation for certain sporting activities the regime hates you'll be thrown in prison"

The Liberals also have the authoritarian doctrine that everyone must either agree with the ideology and policies of the people in authority or move to another country from the belief that the people in authority are responsible for every good thing in the country and the belief that everyone have the wealth and connection to immigrant move to any country that they want just like the older generations of Western European diaspora who gain huge luxuries from the free riding, enslavement, experimentation, and inheritance thief of Indigenous First Nation children in Indian Residential fake schools.
