Shams Sadiq, a Manchester cafe owner, says Greater Manchester Police officers tried to recruit him to inform on Palestine Action and his own mosque by offering financial inducements and to turn a 'blind eye' to certain offences. New documents show four Palestine Action activists face possible terrorism sentences next month amid a wider government crackdown on pro-Palestine activism. The allegations raise fresh questions about police informant tactics, the application of counterterrorism laws to protest, and protections for political expression.
