Hussain ‘Hoz’ Shafiei supports Palestine Action – a group now branded a terrorist organisation by the UK government.
In this powerful and absurd interview, Hoz explains why he wants to be arrested under the Terrorism Act… but despite visiting multiple police stations, giving a full confession and even bringing a solicitor to demand his arrest, the police repeatedly refuse.
Lying in a zero-gravity chair with a broken back, Hoz reads a statement outside Scotland Yard, calling out the proscription of Palestine Action and arguing that conscience and solidarity with Gaza should not be criminalised.
This interview exposes the contradictions at the heart of the UK’s anti-terror strategy, the public support for Palestine and the surreal lengths one man is willing to go to make his point.
