We had a good turn out at the International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity campaign (IUAFS) picket in Whitehall on Saturday. NCP leader Andy Brooks joined comrades and friends at another picket organised by the International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) campaign to highlight the plight of political prisoners jailed by the Zelensky regime and stand by all those bravely fighting the fascism in Ukraine.
Some 30 to 40 supporters joined the lively protest including Paul C annon, the general secretary of the Workers Party of Britain, and supporters of the new No2Nato campaign who came along with their banner that was attached with the others on the railings opposite Downing Street.
"We are protesting today because we believe that the British people should be aware of the crimes committed by forces that our government has spent billions of dollars and arms supplies to prepare. We are well aware that many people are very confused by what is actually happening in Ukraine, as the media is flooded with claims and counterclaims, but we also know that media reporting in the UK is overwhelmingly one-sided and hostile to Russia and the people’s republics of the Donbas," one them said.
The demonstrators called for the release of Ukrainian political prisoners, the restoration of full political freedom and freedom of the media, as well as an end to arrests, beatings, torture and murder in Ukraine.
Theo Russell, the IUAFS campaign organiser, was interviewed by Bernie Holland, the musician and independent film-maker whose the 22 minute report is now up on the IUAFS Facebook page and YouTube. A brief report of the protest filmed by another independent media maker is now also doing the rounds on the social media
