"Campaigners believe Qesser Zuhrah was arrested due to an Instagram story that allegedly encouraged people to take direct action, highlighting concerns over freedom of expression."
"Zuhrah is part of the Filton 24, a group accused of raiding an Elbit Systems factory, which Palestine Action claims is involved in facilitating Israeli war crimes."
"The officers arresting Qesser covered their faces to avoid accountability, drawing parallels to tactics used by ICE agents during violent raids in the US."
"Despite the High Court ruling the ban on Palestine Action as a terror group unlawful, the ban remains in place as the home secretary plans to challenge the ruling."
Qesser Zuhrah, a pro-Palestine activist, was arrested again after being released on bail. Campaigners believe her arrest was linked to an Instagram story encouraging direct action. Hertfordshire Police confirmed the arrest of a 21-year-old woman on suspicion of encouraging a crime and terrorism. Zuhrah is part of the Filton 24, accused of raiding an Elbit Systems factory. The group aims to counter Israeli war crimes and British complicity by targeting weapons manufacturers. The UK’s ban on Palestine Action as a terror group was ruled unlawful, but remains in effect pending a challenge.
