Twelve activists associated with Palestine Action, who were charged with breaking into the British site of an Israel-linked defense firm, Elbit Systems, in Filton, near Bristol, on August 6, 2024, were released on bail on Friday. The activists, including hunger strikers Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Qesser Zuhrah, and Heba Muraisi, were part of a larger group known as the "Filton 24." This release follows the acquittal of six other activists on aggravated burglary charges related to the same raid on February 4, and the dropping of aggravated burglary charges against the remaining 18 members of the "Filton 24" on Wednesday. With this recent development, 23 of the "Filton 24" are now out of prison. The activists' release was celebrated as a "monumental victory" by the Filton 24 Defence Committee.
