🚨 BREAKING: Blind Disabled Man Arrested in UK for Holding a Pro-Palestine Sign

Mike Higgins, blind and wheelchair-bound, was arrested under the Terrorism Act for the “crime” of saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

🚨 Family, I need you with me. What I’m about to share is not just another headline — it is a chilling glimpse into a world where opposing genocide is now treated as terrorism. My work exists to document these outrages, to name them for what they are, and to refuse silence. Please, right now, become a monthly, annual, or founding member.

The Arrest of Mike Higgins

In the UK tonight, a blind, wheelchair-bound man named Mike Higgins has just been arrested under the Terrorism Act. His crime? Holding a sign that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

This is at least the second time Mike Higgins has been arrested for this same act of conscience. His sign did not call for violence. His sign did not threaten anyone. His sign simply declared opposition to genocide.

And yet, because the UK government has now designated Palestine Action — an anti-genocide, direct action group — as a “terrorist organization,” supporting them is now grounds for arrest.

Think about that. Supporting a group that opposes genocide is now terrorism.

You are literally allowed to support the State of Israel and the IDF, whose leaders are indicted war criminals, and not be arrested, but somehow this brave man poses a threat???

The Criminalization of Conscience

This is not about Mike Higgins alone. This is about the criminalization of conscience itself. When governments decide that to say “I oppose genocide” is an arrestable offense, then democracy itself is dead.

If you can arrest a blind, disabled man for a sign, then no one is safe. Every activist, every dissenter, every voice of solidarity with Palestine is now a target.

The Pattern Across the West

Family, we need to understand: this is not happening in isolation. Across the West, governments are rushing to outlaw, criminalize, and terrorize Palestine solidarity:

• In Germany, Palestinian flags and keffiyehs have been confiscated.

• In the U.S., students are smeared as “terrorists” for protesting genocide.

• And now, in the UK, a disabled man in a wheelchair is arrested for a sign.

This is the pattern: silence the truth, criminalize solidarity, make genocide untouchable.

Gaza and the West’s Complicity

While this is happening on the streets of London, Birmingham, and Manchester, Gaza burns. Children are starved, families erased, hospitals flattened. And Western governments are not only funding Israel’s genocide — they are policing and prosecuting anyone who dares to oppose it.

The Courage of Mike Higgins

But look at Mike Higgins. Blind. Disabled. Wheelchair-bound. Arrested once, and then again. And still, he holds his sign.

That is courage. That is dignity. That is what solidarity looks like.

The state can arrest him, but they cannot erase the truth of his words. They cannot erase the moral power of saying: I oppose genocide.

The Lesson

Family, we need to be very clear. If governments can criminalize saying “I oppose genocide,” then genocide itself becomes permanent.

The arrest of Mike Higgins is not just an attack on one man. It is an attack on all of us who believe in universal dignity, who believe in justice, who believe that Never Again must mean Never Again for everyone.

Why Membership Matters

Family, this is why my work matters. Because mainstream media will not call this what it is. They will not say the UK is criminalizing opposition to genocide. They will not amplify the courage of Mike Higgins.

But we will. And we will not stop.

If you believe fearless journalism must document and expose this — must call governments to account when they criminalize conscience — then I need you with me.

Please, right now, become a monthly, annual, or founding member. Together, we will not allow silence to be enforced.

Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
