bail.<\/p>\n<p>There were tears of joy at London\u2019s Central Criminal Court, better known as the Old Bailey, as the 12 prisoners, including hunger strikers Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Qesser Zuhrah and Heba Muraisi, were released on Friday.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3

Harland (Harley) Archer, Louie Adams and Liam Mullany \u2013 had been held on remand in connection with a raid on the Elbit Systems factory in Filton, near Bristol, on August 6, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the state\u2019s best efforts to break each and every one of them, they will walk out today with their heads held high,\u201d said a spokesperson for the Filton 24 Defence Committee, hailing their release as a \u201cmonumental victory\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the 12, which comes after 11 other defendants charged in connection with the raid were also granted bail, means that 23 out of the so-called \u201cFilton 24\u201d are now out of prison.<\/p>\n<p>On February 4, six of the activists were acquitted of aggravated burglary, the most serious of the charges they faced in connection with the raid at \u2060London\u2019s Woolwich Crown Court. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on charges of criminal damage.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the same court dropped aggravated burglary charges, which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, against the remaining 18 Filton 24 members, granting five more defendants bail.<\/p>\n<p>Only Samuel Corner, who faced an additional charge of allegedly hitting a female police sergeant with a sledgehammer, remains on remand. He did not apply for bail on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The Filton 24 Defence Committee called for Corner\u2019s release. \u201cThis isn\u2019t right, or just, given he has already spent over 18 months in prison with no convictions. He should also be granted immediate bail,\u201d said the spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the activists comes after the British High Court ruled that the government\u2019s ban on Palestine Action as a \u201cterror group\u201d was unlawful and disproportionate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2060Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood \u2060said in a statement that she was \u201cdisappointed\u201d and that she intended to appeal the judgement in the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activists released on bail include four hunger strikers: Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Qesser Zuhrah and Heba Muraisi.
