The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) condemned on Saturday a security service raid on the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) in Florida and Missouri, saying it refused to be intimidated.

Federal Bureau of Investigation officers launched multiple raids on the organisation’s headquarters in St Petersburg, Florida and the Uhuru Solidarity Centre in St Louis, Missouri, on Friday. 

The private residence of APSP chairman Omali Yeshitela was also stormed by officers who threw flashing grenades into the house before handcuffing him and his wife.
