A PALESTINE ACTION activist remanded in custody after a Christmas Day protest at an Israeli weapons site is among 22 of its members who will begin 2025 in a jail cell, the group said today.
Bryn Higgs, 60, was arrested after sledgehammers were used to smash into the walls of Elbit UAV Engines’ drone factory at Shenstone in Staffordshire.
Two other men and two women were detained but released on bail on Boxing Day.
