Rally in Support of Palestine Prisoner's Hunger Strike in Peterborough by Martin Pope / SOPA Images
Supporters of the Filton 24 pro-Palestine prisoners rallied outside Peterborough prison in solidarity with the 24 on remand and those six currently on hunger strike in prisons across the UK. Teuta Hoxha is currently in HMP Peterborough. The prisoners have been on remand for at least a year since being arrested for targeting the Filton site of Israeli arms company Elbit Systems in Bristol and destroying quadcopter drones they say were destined for use against Palestinians in Gaza. The hunger striking prisoners are making five demands of the government : to end all censorship and surveillance of communications, immediate bail, a fair trial, de-proscription of Palestine Action and to shut down Elbit Systems. More prisoners are expected to join the hunger strike imminently.
