Did you know that FIFA once tried to force the Soviet national football team to play a World Cup play-off match in a blood-soaked concentration camp? Fifty years ago today the second leg of the play-off for a place in the 1974 World Cup in West Germany was due to be held between Chile and the Soviet Union.
However, following a 0-0 draw in Moscow the second leg was due to be played at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago where thousands of socialists and communists had been tortured and executed following a fascist coup two months before. The Soviets refused to play in the stadium and what followed was one of the most bizarre football matches ever. Read on.

It will be interesting to see whether the police have arrested our comrades today merely to harrass us or to start a real criminal proceeding.
Let us make it clear: we will be happy to have this argument in court. Is telling the truth about zionism antisemitic? Or is it zionism itself that is the main force of antisemitism in the world today?

This is the third time our comrade Dr Ranjeet Brar has been arrested as a result of his solidarity with Palestine. On the two other occasions the police were eventually forced to pay damages for wrongful arrest and mistreatment in custody. Seems the Met are pretty slow learners ...
Meanwhile, as he pointed out to the arresting officers, by aiding and abetting the genocidal zionist regime and its backers in Whitehall and Washington, it is they who are guilty of a crime, not he.

ANTI-ZIONISM IS NOT RACISM!
Comrades, we are calling a solidarity protest outside Sutton police station at 2.30pm today.
(6 Carshalton Rd, Sutton SM1 4RF)
As yet, we do not know whether our comrades are going to be charged and if so, with what crime. Our understanding is that on arrest it was 'incitement to racial hatred' or something along those lines. All those close enough to hear the charge clearly were arrested.
We have four comrades currently in custody and awaiting interview.
Our demands/slogans are:
1. Drop all charges; we are doing nothing wrong!
2. Criticism of zionism is not antisemitic; zionism itself is a racist ideology, and, by claiming to speak for all jewish people, is itself antisemitic.
3. Don't allow the government to continue its campaign of trying to criminalise support for Palestine.
4. By arresting our comrades, who are criticising zionism and British imperialist support for zionism, the Met police are making themselves an accessory to the war crimes currently being committed in Gaza.
5. No cooperation with zionist war crimes and the Nato war machine!

The first of our four comrades has been released on bail from Sutton police station. Given the fact that he is only 16 years old, it is pretty disgusting that the police held him for the full 24 hours.
He has been banned from leafleting and deviating from the main routes of marches.
More information will be released as we have it.
WE CONTINUE TO STAND BY PALESTINE AND BY OUR PAMPHLET. WE ARE READY TO STAND UP FOR BOTH IN COURT IF NEED BE.

Our comrades have been released on bail ... with conditions.
Our support for Palestine and our analysis of zionism remains unshaken. We will defend both in court if need be.
In the meantime, we thank all those who have supported us online and in person today.
We will not be silenced!
No cooperation with zionist war crimes!
End the genocide!
Victory to the intifada!
Free Palestine!
