Wave of arrests for Palestine solidarity actions sparks ‘state repression’ fears
COUNTER-TERRORISM police have arrested 10 more Palestine Action activists in connection to a protest at a “research hub” belonging to Israel’s largest weapons firm Elbit Systems.
Another 10 had already been detained when the action took place on August 6.
Activists were arrested after a prison van crashed into the outer perimeter of the facility in Filton, Bristol.
