Protesters outside HMP & YOI New Hall near Wakefield in support of Francesca Nadin, who has been held on remand for 17 months after taking part in two Palestine Action actions in Shipley and Leeds, January 25, 2025

PALESTINE campaigners demonstrated outside a Yorkshire prison on Saturday in solidarity with an activist who took part in a raid on a Bradford weapons factory which supplies Israel. 

Francesca Nadin has been held on remand in HMP New Hall near Wakefield for more than a year without trial after being one of a group of Palestine Action volunteers who damaged a Teledyne Defence and Space factory which makes components for missiles systems. 

She also took part in a protest in which a branch of Barclays bank in Leeds was sprayed with red paint.
