"Six British pro-Palestinian activists have been acquitted of aggravated burglary relating to a 2024 raid on a factory operated by Israeli defence firm Elbit, with a jury unable to reach verdicts on charges of criminal damage."
Umer Khalid in medical crisis after 17 days of hunger strike and 3 days of thirst strike
22-year-old Umer Khalid ended his strike during which he met with the prison governor of HMP Wormwood Scrubs, Amy Frost, in order to discuss his prison conditions. As a result of the meeting, Umer recieved his previously withheld mail and clothes, and his restrictions on visits, which have been heavily limited ever since being held on remand in July 2025, were also lifted.
His 17-day hunger strike and 3-day thirst strike ended after being rushed to the intensive care unit in hospital, suffering multiple organ failure. Umer’s family were not alerted that he was admitted to the hospital or given access to his medical reports.
On Saturday evening, at least 86 people were arrested for protesting at HMP Wormwood Scrubs where Umer is imprisoned on remand without trial for allegedly spray painting airplanes at RAF base Brize Norton. Flight transponder data published last summer showed that Israeli Air Force KC-707 “Re’em” aerial refuelling planes were utilising RAF Brize Norton in transit to Gaza during two apparent war crimes in October 2024.

This is why the government wants to abolish jury trials.

Gaza Right Now...💔
The bombardment has resumed since the early hours of the morning. So far, more than 25 innocent souls have ascended [to heaven], most of whom are women and children. Has anyone even heard this news? Our blood has become so cheap; people have grown accustomed to the scene, and the world has forgotten Gaza

Because Israel has violated the rights of Palestinian journalists in Gaza and the West Bank in full view of the world, this will eventually happen to all journalists in general, and the world will likely remain silent then as well
