WEEK 18: The Free Derry wall has been repainted - for the first time in its history - with a quote from the murdered Palestinian poet and writer, Refaat Alareer.
Sam Griffiths, a father who runs his own business, was remanded in custody for 28 days and charged under new anti-protest laws for "interfering with key infrastructure" after marching against new oil and gas licenses.
He chose to face a crown court trial and refused to answer the question of whether he would continue to slow march.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

This man was asked what sort of alternative society he'd like to see:
"One that doesn't make guns or bombs, one that's not constantly at war with itself, that doesn't poison the air, that has enough respect for each other and the planet we live on and all the other life-forms that share it, to live in a completely sustainable way to the benefit of all life, so that man becomes a symbiotic organism that's supporting the life of this host planet."
Just watched the Chris Packham documentary on Channel 4. Seeing these old white guys with the power to actually do something sit with Chris and lie about the contents of the IPCC reports, juxtaposed with two 18 year old kids getting a criminal record for throwing some paint, is so monmumentally enraging I don't know what to say about it, except watch it. Get mad. Do what you can. But don't leave it up to kids. #ClimateCatastrophe#JustStopOil#KeepItInTheGround#UKPolitics#NoPlanetB
