The Bangladeshi community in East London has earned a reputation for defiance - organising and building community power over issues from housing to racism to international solidarity. The Centre for the Study of Race, Class and Empire (RCE) invites you join us for a discussion with community activists and campaigners examining how Bangladeshis have sought to channel older political traditions while also finding new ways to relate to upheaval ‘back home’ in Bangladesh. They will trace that story of historical battles by Bangladeshis against second-class status in Britain, to the shockwaves of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013, and the 2024 uprising in Bangladesh. Speakers are from Nijjor Manush (UK), Nirikh/Lokayoto Collective (Bangladesh), and the Runnymede Trust.

Enemies of Liberation: Gulf States, Zionism & Imperialism | Sunday 24th May, Pelican House, 1pm

“Our enemy in the battle is Israel, Zionism, world imperialism and Arab reaction” - Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (1969)

Since October 2023, the ironclad embrace of US imperialism and Zionism have been made starkly clear - culminating in the joint US-Israeli assault on Iran from February this year.

But what has also become clear is the importance of the Gulf monarchies to the projects of imperialism and Zionism in the region, with states like the UAE and Bahrain spending the last 30 months of genocide openly aligning themselves with Israel and US interests, enthusiastically supporting their war on Iran, and serving as part of Israel’s frontline defence from attack.

In light of the Gaza genocide expanding to a regional war with the assault on Iran, this teach in, hosted by the South Asians for Palestine coalition, will connect how the Gulf monarchies underpin Israeli militarism and US imperialism in the region, are themselves underwritten by the massive exploitation of South Asian (and other) migrant labour, and have used their position as partners of imperialism to export violence to places like Sudan, Yemen and beyond.

Speaker details:
Noaman G. Ali
Areeb Ullah
Energy Embargo for Palestine

We will also be selling physical copies of South Asian For Palestine’s pamphlet on political prisoners from Palestine to South Asia, with all proceeds going to the Brize Norton 5 fundraiser. Strictly limited copies available, and you can purchase one with your ticket.

Resistance Library: Politics Behind Bars
TUESDAY 16TH JUNE 2026 AT 7:00 PM
The People’s Letters Bookshop
395 Cambridge Heath Road
London E2 9RA

Imprisonment is a tool used to break movements, isolate organisers, and sever communities from their most committed fighters. And yet, again and again, movements and people have found ways to think, organise, educate, and build power from within the walls meant to contain them. Prisons have never been sealed spaces; they have been sites of political growth, ideological sharpening, and collective resistance.

This session will explore how resistance continues behind bars — how movements survive separation, how political traditions are carried and transformed inside, and how imprisoned people have shaped struggles on the outside.

We will look at the forms of solidarity that have sustained political prisoners historically, and what responsibilities fall to us today as communities committed to liberation.

This Resistance Library event will consider what lessons we can take to strengthen our movements beyond the prison walls.

Tickets/donations will cover venue hire as this is an unfunded event. https://www.outsavvy.com/event/36135/resistant-library-politics-behind-bars
However, we do not want finances to stop participation, so please book a free ticket if you cannot afford the £3 ticket.

Join the South Asians for Palestine bloc this Saturday, 16th May, for the Nakba Day March!

We’ve also seen calls by the far-right, including calls by Tommy Robinson, to march under a “unite the kingdom” march which will take a similar route. We’re therefore expecting an increased police + fascist presence.

Let’s march together to show our solidarity with Palestine & keep each other safe.

📍Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Gore, South Kensington, London SW7 2AP
⏰ 11am

Find our banner. Travel in pairs/groups. And make sure you’ve looked up protester rights (we will be resharing).

Last Saturday’s National Housing Demonstration:
Calling for rent controls and the building of more truly affordable homes.

We will continue to fight developers that seek to further gentrify areas our communities have built and call for building more council homes, not shopping centres, gated office blocks and a data centre.

Next week: Tuesday 28th April - join us outside the town hall from 5pm, to tell the council to cut ✂️ their contract with Mears which puts profit before people.
Follow for more information & sign the petition.

Download our pamphlet on political prisoners - bringing together contributions from our 2024 teach-in, “They Cannot Extinguish the Moon” Political Prisoners from South Asia to Palestine - updated and republished to mark Palestinian Prisoners’ Day on 17th April.

With the passage of Israel’s ‘Death Penalty law’ in April 2026, solidarity with Palestinian prisoners takes on a new urgency. Adding another page to Israel’s ever-growing catalogue of administrative atrocities, the law mandates the ex*****on of - Palestinian - prisoners in the occupied West Bank within 90 days of being convicted of ‘terrorism’ by the occupation’s military courts. These have a 99% conviction rate for Palestinians.

Additionally, this pamphlet has been re-produced in solidarity with the Brize Norton 5. They are a group of young people currently in prison on remand for allegedly breaking into RAF Brize Norton in the summer of 2025 and spraying two warplanes with red paint. The RAF base facilitates surveillance flights over Gaza, providing the ‘Israeli’ army with intelligence, as well as refuelling of fighter jets and the transportation of weapons to ‘Israel’. By the time of their trial in January 2027, they will have been in prison for a total of 18 months.
