Prominent anti-genocide activist Ani.says has been arrested four times this year at pro-Palestine protests – one of the most frequent victims of the Starmer regime’s ‘lawfare’ war on anti-genocide activists and journalists to protect Israel and its interests.

And four times, the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have been forced to say ‘No further action’ (NFA).

Ani’s latest arrest came as she and another Muslim activist were forced to defend themselves against a 6’4″ tall far-right thug who had targeted them for their determined stand against the far right and against Israel and its crimes, striking both women before police intervened. After another fascist agitator showed the police video, stripped of context, of them defending themselves, police arrested Ani and held her for hours — again following the establishment’s ‘lawfare’ pattern to punish and intimidate even if a jury will not convict.

Anti-genocide protestors who defended themselves equated with the thug that attacked them

The aggressor was also arrested, but apparently not held.

Now, the police have confirmed ‘NFA’ yet again — but not just against the two women defending themselves, also against the thug.

Ani, who has also defeated a would-be private prosecution by Israeli ‘actor’ Gal Gadot, told Skwawkbox that she expects to be targeted again for arrest soon, because each NFA so far has been quickly followed by another police action — because the pro-Israel lobby, infuriated by the decision to take no action, quickly manufactures grounds for a new one.

Ani still faces two potential charges, she says, for using her Punjabi mother tongue in an uncomplimentary way to describe two Asian collaborators with Israel — one a strapping police officer well known to London protesters, who was supposedly ‘distressed’ by it. These have not yet been ‘NFA’d, despite their clearly discriminatory nature.

Solidarity to Ani and all victims of the regime’s determination to protect the genocidal settler-colony.
