Stand with Muslim Youth Leaders Against NYPD Violence: Eric Adams Must Resign

wolpalestine.com/adamsresign September 24, 2024 NYPD brutalizes, arrests and hospitalizes multiple protesters, including WOL Leader Abdullah Akl. In response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the zionist bombing in Lebanon, which murdered over 550 people, New Yorkers flooded the streets of Manhattan to demand liberation during the 79th United Nations General Assembly. With a green light from disgraced Mayor Eric Adams, the NYPD escalates its barbarity, brutalizing and arresting dozens of protestors. WOL organizer and youth leader in the Muslim community Abdullah Akl remains hospitalized with serious injuries. As our community is outraged, these are our demands for justice.

Our Demands

Following months of barbaric brutality from the NYPD, we demand:

1. The resignation of Eric Adams

From federal investigation, to emboldening his police forces to attack protesters, the disgraced Zionist mayor is not fit for NYC.

2. The disbandment of the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group

The SRG is a notoriously violent rapid response group of the NYPD tasked with policing protests, best known for its violence, misconduct, and racial bias.

3. Shut down NYPD’s office in occupied Palestine

The NYPD regularly coordinates with the zionist occupation to surveil Palestinian, Arab and Muslim New Yorkers from its office in occupied Palestine.

Statement on Emergency Action to Flood Manhattan for Lebanon

Tonight, the NYPD unleashed the full force of their violence against New York’s Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities in an attempt block us from protesting the United Nations as the General Assembly commences this week. WOL leader Abdullah Akl was violently arrested and sent to the hospital tonight. Dozens of others were also brutally attacked by SRG officers who clearly targeted Muslim youth leaders, as the unit serves to criminalize Black and Brown communities.

Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets today after “israel” massacred over 500 people in Lebanon on Monday. As the US demonstrates its barbaric support for the genocidal Zionist project and opposition to it grows worldwide, the NYPD has escalated its brutality against our movement.
