Qesser Zuhrah

Qesser Zuhrah is a pro-Palestine activist in the UK, associated with the Palestine Action group. She is currently newsworthy due to her recent arrest on terrorism charges, weeks after being released on bail. The arrest reportedly stems from an Instagram post. Previously, Zuhrah was among activists arrested for allegedly breaking into Elbit Systems UK in August 2024, an Israel-linked defense firm, and subsequently released on bail. During her initial detention, she participated in a hunger strike, leading to her hospitalization after 46 days. Concerns about her treatment in prison prompted legal action from her and other hunger strikers. Her case highlights the UK's approach to pro-Palestine activism and the legal challenges faced by activists involved in direct action against companies linked to Israel.
