Bristol Elbit break-in case heads to retrial for six Palestine Action activists

Six Palestine Action activists accused of involvement in a break-in at Elbit Systems’ Filton site near Bristol will be retried on charges including criminal damage and violent disorder; after the first trial, some counts were undecided and 18 co-defendants had aggravated burglary charges dropped. Samuel Corner previously faced a grievous bodily harm with intent charge. The retrial for Head, Corner, Kamio, Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin is planned for 16 February 2027, with most defendants on bail after about 18 months in custody.

Palestine Action hunger strikers end UK protest after Elbit contract denial

Three Palestine Action hunger-strikers in the UK ended their weeks-long fast after reports that Elbit Systems UK failed to win a UK government contract to train soldiers, a development the group hailed as a victory and a spotlight on arms links to Israel's war; seven activists have resumed eating, with ongoing pressure on authorities over Palestine-related issues.

Hunger Strikes Push to the Edge of Survival in UK Palestine Action Case

Eight Palestine Action activists in the UK started hunger strikes; three are currently fasting for 63–70 days with five having ended for health reasons, while Lewie Chiaramello continues on alternating days due to type 1 diabetes. They demand bail and a fair trial, reversal of the group’s terrorist designation, and the closure of Elbit Systems sites alongside an end to prison censorship. Medical estimates say survival without food is typically 45–61 days, so the remaining strikers face life-threatening risk, prompting international concern and calls for proper medical care.
