With countless Palestine Actionists putting their liberty on the line to destroy & disrupt Elbit's sites in Britain, the state have responded with countless charges. To date, we have won every single trial and exposed Israel's crimes in the courts. [2/9]
And there are still many more court cases to come. Activists need your ongoing support and mobilisation both inside and outside the courts to make the message clear: Elbit Systems are the only criminals here. [3/9]
The next trial is taking place on the 14th February at Cannock Magistrates Courts. The activists face criminal damage charges after they successfully #ShutElbitDown in Shenstone. They disrupting the production of engines for Israeli drones. [4/9]

Our first Crown Court trial is set for the 14th - 18th March at Manchester Crown Court. Activists are charged with "criminal damage" after they took direct action to significantly disrupt Elbit's factory in Oldham. Mobilisations set for every day from 9AM. [7/9]
There are many more cases set. We look forward to scrutinising and exposing the crimes of Israel's largest arms company in the courts. See below for a full list of upcoming trials. #ShutElbitDown palestineaction.org/elbit-on-trial/
P.S. The British court system operates in a constant state of chaos, leading to many last minute changes and delays in cases. Any changes to court dates will be posted on our twitter.
