JAILED UK ACTIVIST’S POEM ABOUT GAZA

Back in August, a group of Palestine Action activists broke into the heavily guarded premises of Elbit Systems - a defence technology firm in Bristol, UK. The company is Israel’s largest arms maker. It’s seen profits surge by nearly 15% since Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza began.

Ten members of the group were arrested under the UK’s Terrorism Act for their protest and have been in jail ever since. Among the activists was Zoe Rogers, whose mother recently gave an interview to UK activist-rapper @Lowkey0nline (X) (for @MintPressNews (X)). She read out a powerful poem written by her daughter from prison - explaining why she felt compelled to take action.
