Two of the Thales Five Palestine activists freed

TWO of the Thales Five Palestine activists jailed in August have been freed under licence.

The five Palestine Action members had each been sentenced to 12 months in prison for their actions in June 2022, when they occupied the Govan plant of Thales, an arms giant linked Israel’s military and its biggest armourer Elbit Systems, taking to its roof and bringing operations to a halt at a reputed cost to the French weapons giant of £1 million.
