**Victory for Palestine Action Activists: 12 Released on Bail** In a heartwarming moment at London's Central Criminal Court, also known as the Old Bailey, 12 activists linked to the Palestine Action group were finally released on bail. The group, which had been held on remand since August 6, 2024, after being charged with breaking into the Elbit Systems factory in Filton, near Bristol, had long been held in high spirits despite their confinement. Their release, which comes after 11 other defendants charged in connection with the raid were granted bail, means that 23 out of the so-called "Filton 24" are now out of prison. This is a significant milestone, especially considering the state's efforts to keep them behind bars. As one spokesperson for the Filton 24 Defence Committee noted, the activists were determined to walk out of jail with their heads held high, a testament to their unwavering commitment to their cause. This development has implications for the broader struggle against Israeli military occupation in Palestine. The Palestine Action group, which has been at the forefront of this movement in the UK, has faced intense state repression. However, the release of these activists is a significant blow to the government's efforts to silence them. The British High Court's ruling that the government's ban on Palestine Action as a "terror group" was unlawful and disproportionate has further emboldened the group, and it is likely that they will continue to push for an end to Israeli military occupation in Palestine. With the release of these 12 activists, attention turns to Samuel Corner, who remains on remand. Corner's prolonged detention, with no convictions, has sparked outrage from the Filton 24 Defence Committee. They call for his immediate release, citing the injustice of his prolonged confinement. The release of these activists is a significant victory for the Palestine Action group and a testament to the power of grassroots activism. As the struggle against Israeli military occupation in Palestine continues to gain momentum, it is likely that we will see more victories like this in the future.
