Get down to Armstrong Works, Scotswood Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE15 6UX
BREAKING: Two actionists were sentenced to prison after dismantling a supplier of weaponry for Israeli drones and fighter jets.
One, was given a sentence of 27 months. Whilst the other was sentenced to 18 months.
Another who joined the action was acquitted at Crown Court. This move by the state to imprison the two, demonstrates how they favour protecting Israel’s weapons industry, over the rights of protestors in Britain.
More information will be released shortly on how to support the two, and next steps in the campaign to free them. The state is trying to crackdown, but Palestine Action will not back down.
BREAKING: Staffordshire police sent emails to locals surrounding Israel's weapons factory in Shenstone, in defence of the company's head of security, who was recently exposed in an article by @HudaAmmori for @The_NewArab#ShutElbitDown
Martin Kelly, left the police force, to become Elbit UK's Head of Security. There's a strong possibility he was working on Palestine Action cases as a police officer before getting paid by Israel's largest arms firm.
Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, produce 85% of Israel's military drones, which are used to attack, surveil and traumatise the Palestinian people. Palestine Action takes direct action to #ShutElbitDown, leading to numerous trials. [1/9]
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]
