Britain’s Political Prisoners with Huda Ammori, Tim Crosland & Amy Pritchard

Tuesday May 26th 2026

Doors & drinks at 6.30pm; Presentations starts 7pm

The last five years have seen a remarkable clampdown on climate and anti-war protests in Britain. An unprecedented number of people have been held on remand in prison or given custodial sentences, often for very long periods.

To coincide with the launch of a comprehensive report by Queen Mary University and Defend Our Juries that reveals the devastating scale of this imprisonment, we’re gathering to ask where we go from here:

How can we can galvanise our movements and resist this state repression?

We’ll hear short presentations in response to this question from David Whyte of Queen Mary University; Tim Crosland of Defend Our Juries; Huda Ammori, lead applicant in the judicial review against the government's proscription of Palestinian solidarity (via video link); Amy Pritchard, previously jailed climate protestor; Athene Dilke, from the Public and Commercial Services Union; and Guy Zilberman, author of the report.

We'll then have an open mic session, in which all participants will be invited to share their perspective, followed by a group discussion.

The evening will include a break for a one-pot vegan supper.

This is a free event. Space is limited, however, and we will be providing a meal, so please only book a ticket if you are committed to coming. If you're no longer able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing events@kairos.london. Thank you.

Do you have reduced earnings through a lifestyle choice or rather because you're dedicating your time to unpaid work relating to the climate and nature crises or as a result of structural inequality? If you're struggling to pay even the reduced price please contact us on events@kairos.london.
