[Neil Terry Photography]
PROTESTERS demonstrated outside a Yorkshire prison today in support of a Palestine Action activist being held there after being arrested during an occupation of an arms factory supplying Israel.
Around 50 people took part in the protest outside HMP Doncaster in South Yorkshire.
The prisoner, named only as Julian, was arrested on April 2 as one of four people who occupied the roof of arms manufacturer Teledyne Defence and Space in Shipley, West Yorkshire, halting production.
