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.
