"Qesser Zuhrah was detained after sharing a social media post calling on people to take direct action. Masked officers handcuffed her at her home in Watford at dawn."
"Audrey Corno, 23, was accused of tampering with her electronic tag in breach of bail conditions, a charge she denies. She described her arrest as a complete shock and very re-traumatizing."
"Both Zuhrah and Corno were imprisoned over their alleged participation in separate raids on military hardware manufacturers in 2024, claimed by Palestine Action."
"Although the High Court ruled that the UK's ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful, it remains illegal to show support for the group."
In the UK, two young women linked to Palestine Action were arrested, prompting accusations of intimidation from civil rights groups. Qesser Zuhrah, 21, was detained for a social media post advocating direct action, while Audrey Corno, 23, was arrested for allegedly tampering with her electronic tag. Both women had previously been imprisoned for their involvement in raids on military hardware manufacturers. Despite a High Court ruling against labeling Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, the UK government continues to restrict support for the group amid ongoing legal challenges.
