I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this.

My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on.

This is what she said 🧵 1/ Image During this trial you’ve heard some very important evidence. That there are factories on British soil making weapons to send to Israel. That the drones they make include Thor VTOL quadcopters used to drop grenades, drones that are advertised as ‘battle tested’ on Palestinians 2/

Last week was the latest pre-trial hearing for my daughter & the Filton 18. All are charged in connection with direct action against Israeli weapons factory Elbit Systems in Bristol, where 6 of them damaged quadcopter drones of the kind seen used in Gaza. A thread... 1/ Image This hearing at the Old Bailey was to start legal discussions about the ‘terrorist connection’ alleged by the Crown Prosecution Service. Although the 18 are charged with ordinary criminal offences, this prosecution is led by counter terrorist police 2/

My daughter Zoe is a UK political prisoner.

Here's the story so far, and why *you* should join us at the Old Bailey on Thursday...

A thread 1/ Image Zoe is one of six people arrested in August inside an Elbit Systems facility in Filton, Bristol

She had taken direct action with @Pal_action - breaking in and damaging killer quadcopter drones, very likely for use in Gaza. Elbit is Israel's biggest weapons manufacturer 2/

Last week Zoe had a bail hearing listed for Friday. I wrote this poem the day before, wrestling with the agonising hope that she might come home after 7 months in prison.

Then she withdrew her application 💔

Why?

Image Because she asked her lawyer what the chance of success was, and he said realistically it was *zero*.

People charged with murder and with actual terrorist offences routinely get bail.

But not the Filton 18.

I've been quiet on here because my life has been turned upside down. My daughter Zoe is in prison 💔

She's being treated like a terrorist for taking action against an Israeli arms firm

Read the petition or this 🧵 1/
Bit.ly/Filton10Petiti… Zoe is one of 10 activists in prison on remand for action against an Elbit Systems facility in Filton, Bristol, in August

She spent her 21st birthday in prison 💔

At the #20splenty 2019 conference...

The @UWEBristol @publichealthuwe study of 20mph zones/limits found “a statically significant reduction in fatal injuries across the city”...even in 30mph zones, which saw a spillover reduction in speed.

Do we need any more evidence?! Yay @chriscities always has the best slides! Currently melting our brains with ‘behavioural urbanism’. To change behaviour, make walking & cycling and being in public spaces joyous and effortless and driving uninviting. Hedonistic streets...?
