We stand with Roger Wade and we ask the club to withdraw the ban and the threat of legal action.
Wade, a long-time Albion season ticket holder, received a five game ban just for wearing a Palestine shirt. Not only that, the club are now threatening to sue him!
If the war in Ukraine was a humanitarian issue, when football teams flew yellow and blue flags in stadia around the country – then so too is Gaza. Why was it permissible to wear Ukraine shirts then, but not Palestine ones now?
Both are ‘conflict zones’ and both are political. And if an exception was made three years ago for ‘humanitarian reasons’, then football must urgently ‘Stand Together with Palestinians’ right now.
So join us outside Falmer Station this Sunday from 11am before BHAFC’s home match against Manchester City, to peacefully show our support for the civilians of Gaza.
Wear your keffiyehs, put on your Palestine shirts and refuse to be silenced.
