Today on The Thinking Muslim, we are joined by Dr Asim Qureshi. Dr Asim is a human rights advocate and the Research Director at CAGE International, where his work focuses on counterterrorism policy, state power, and the impact of the so-called “War on Terror” on Muslim communities.

In this episode, he discusses Palestine Action and examines Britain’s role in aiding Israel’s clampdown on pro-Palestine activism, including the use of policing, surveillance, and legal measures against activists.

For the avoidance of doubt, this programme does not endorse or support Palestine Action or any illegal activity. The discussion is intended for journalistic and analytical purposes only.
