BREAKING: Documents reveal internal meetings and collusion between government ministers, the Attorney General's office, police, the Crown Prosecution Service and Israeli weapons producer Elbit Systems.

This is a violation of the obligated independence of the judicial system🧵 The first meeting uncovered was between Priti Patel and Elbit Systems CEO Martin Fausset.

The objective was to reassure the Israeli weapons maker that they were taking the "criminal protest" against them seriously.

At this point, no one in Palestine Action was convicted. Image

Palestine Action began.🧵 First, some of them stormed the London HQ of Israel's largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems. After they were outnumbered by security, they came back with more people to #ShutElbitDown

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.
