In the UK, Palestine Action activists took direct action against Elbit Systems, causing damage to the weapons produced in its factory in Filton. Elbit Systems is israel’s biggest arms manufacturer, supplying the israeli military with most of the weapons it uses to slaughter Palestinians. 24 activists were arrested after this action, becoming known as the “Filton24”. They have been held in prison for over a year and a half without trial. 5 of the Palestine Action prisoners have been incarcerated after they allegedly spray-painted a couple of planes at RAF Brize Norton. They are being harshly prosecuted and became known as the “Brize Norton 5”. Britain has used these planes to transport weapons from the USA to Israel and to send hundreds of spy flights over Gaza. At least one of these has been linked to Israel's bombing of a refugee camp. Since early November, Palestine Action prisoners have started a hunger strike to protest their unfair incarceration under brutal conditions and challenge the UK’s complicity in genocide. Now, they are on the brink of death, and the government has refused to meet with them and failed to engage with any of their demands. The government would rather see young activists die than challenge the interests of Elbit Systems, an egregious company responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people. We call on everyone to join the rally this Saturday at the British Embassy in solidarity with the hunger strikers and their demands. Bring your friends, family, and comrades! Let’s show the British government that while they do not care about the lives of their own citizens, we, the people, do! ⏱️Saturday 17th, 4PM 📍Lange Voorhout 10, 2514 ED Den Haag For more information: @prisoners4palestine FREE THE FILTON 24!
