We are relieved but also very angry that Des and Gholam were ever subjected to this blatant TU victimisation. A more detailed response from us will follow soon.
Solidarity to both Des Freedman and Gholam Khiabany ✊

This is the kind of solidarity that will be vital in forthcoming industrial action over the cost of living crisis taken by UCU RMT & many others

Surely an act of gross misconduct by Goldsmiths who must be held accountable for huge waste of public funds and personal injury to staff and students Gholam Khiabany Des Freedman Gustavo C.

We are delighted that Des (Des Freedman) & Gholam (@gkhiabany) have been reinstated

It was a disgraceful case of bullying & trade union victimisation which should forever shame the leadership at Goldsmiths

'No case to answer', as we always knew

Des & Gholam, we stand with you ✊

Vindicated & reinstated. 115 days later and thanks to amazing solidarity from around the world, Goldsmiths has confirmed that there is 'no case to answer' against me & Gholam Khiabany for doing our job & supporting our students. Off to the pub now...

An excellent motion drafted by Eskandar Sadeghi & Gholam Khiabany to organize activities and support the 'women, life, freedom' protests in Iran. A good blueprint for motions to submit to student unions, unions and other associations

Whatever side you're on, whatever your ethnicity, this is truly a historic moment.
The UK has its first Goldman Sachs Prime Minister.

Circulating on Iranian social media: subtitled excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech on completion of the Selma to Montgomery march in March 1965.

This is how insane the situation is. 13 year old Palestinian girl kidnapped by settlers and brutally beaten. The horror.

ALARMING development - apart from the much more serious state repression in Iran - that should be highlighted to prevent the undemocratic derailing of #IranProtests2022 A thread 🧵

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to 'submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus' to monitor your movements.

This reminds me of Herzl calling Israel 'a villa in the jungle'...
