In Britain, at least 12 activists with Palestine Action have reunited with their families after months in jail. Among the group released on bail Friday were four hunger strikers. Only one of the 18 activists was not granted conditional bail. Their trial is scheduled for April, according to the BBC.
Earlier this month, six Palestine Action protesters were found not guilty of aggravated burglary, even after they admitted to breaking into a factory operated by Israeli defense firm Elbit. The British government has banned Palestine Action under its Terrorism Act over direct action protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.
