A PALESTINE prisoners’ movement has called for the release of activists arrested for protesting against Israeli weapons factories in Britain.

Six activists from Palestine Action (PA) are currently detained and over 100 more are facing custodial sentences for disrupting the manufacturing of the weapons.

Elbit Systems supplies 85 per cent of Israel’s military drone fleet and land-based equipment — which have been recently used in the brutal attacks in Jenin and Gaza.
