Tom Bell, acting UK Director @hrw.org, reacts to today's Court of Appeal's ruling on the proscription of Palestine Action.
🧵1/5 The appalling scenes of xenophobic violence that broke out on June 9 in #Belfast are a frightening reminder of how normalized racism & organized racist violence have become in the UK. A devastating knife attack should never be used to justify more violence. HRW's thoughts are with all victims.

Two days of anti-immigration violence in Northern Ireland is nothing short of racist thuggery, Britain's minister for the province said, after police deployed water cannon to tackle rioters for a second night.
