25 UK activists spent up to 18 months in prison for opposing British complicity in genocide without trial or any convictions. They are now in the process of finally having their day in court, spread over 4 trials. We seek Justice for the Filton25!

Justice for the Filton 25!

We are the family and friends of the Filton25, all imprisoned for alleged damage of weapons in an Israeli arms factory in England.

The Filton25 are charged with involvement in a direct action on August 2024 to disable weapons at a facility belonging to Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems, at Filton, near Bristol.

All were denied bail initially, spending up to 18 months in prison before receiving bail. After a jury refused to convict six of the Filton25 on February 4th 2026, they faced a retrial on April 13th, along with 3 other trials for the other 19 actionists ending in 2027. The stitch up retrial convicted four of the initial six of criminal damage and they face sentencing as terrorists, even though they were not convicted or put on trial for terrorist charges. The four have currently been remanded back into prison, even though this is not standard practise, to await their sentencing June 12th.
