Prison Tortures Trans Man to Death | Toni Asik #SayHisName

NEW VIDEO!
Not only has a Sodexo-run prison (HMP Bronzefield) tortured a trans man, Toni Asik, to death, it has continued abusing at least three other trans men. Sodexo even punished two of them, currently awaiting trial, for hugging each other after receiving news of Toni's murder.

This vid by @essenceofthought.bsky.social shook me to my core.
The British government is manufacturing consent to not only human rights abuses in prison; but the social cleansing and mass genocides of "undesirables".
And of course the mainstream media is... silent.

So YouTube is just straight up throttling this video (as they've done with the previous four), so I really could do with as many people sharing this elsewhere as possible.
The focus is on 4 trans men, but it also links to Prisoners 4 Palestine and the the murder of newborn infants inside prisons.

GC people will watch a lesbian be executed and agree to disagree on if it’s wrong.
Imagine respecting someone who sees murder "otherwise."
Imagine being that fucking craven.
These people have lost their minds and morality in order to justify how they have ended up being "friends" with monsters.

There's been two Irish "gay" orgs against trans rights. One of them is a friend group of 3 people. The other was a lesbian couple who failed to get "LGB Alliance Ireland" up and running. There is no "enormous pushback" against trans rights from the gay community. There are some cranks. That's it.

The Toni Asik video is finally done.
I would also have the next video recorded, but my recording software switched microphones without telling me and I only realised after I was done so will have to re-record the entire thing.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

When your entire message is one of compassion and understanding, why would you engage in hate and harmful discourse? Report, block and move on is the only way. Trans people are not a debate. We are focused on finding women who feel the same: notinourname.org.uk
