Fatema Zainab Rajwani

Fatema Zainab Rajwani is a member of the now-banned Palestine Action group, known for its protests against Israeli defense firms. She was recently convicted of criminal damage related to a 2024 raid on Elbit Systems' facility in Bristol. Rajwani was also found guilty of striking a police officer with a sledgehammer during the incident. She is one of four Palestine Action activists who received sentences, with supporters arguing these convictions set a dangerous precedent. The group's actions, including this raid, occurred during Israel's war on Gaza. Rajwani's conviction and sentencing are significant as they highlight the legal consequences faced by activists involved in direct action against companies linked to the Israeli military.
