FREE THE FILTON 25

For the first time in British history, protesters could be sentenced as terrorists.

After entering an Israeli arms factory in 2024 and destroying a shipment of weapons being used against Palestinians in Gaza, Fatema Zainab, Lottie, Ellie and Sam were convicted of criminal damage.

The judge, Jeremy Johnson, kept secret from the jury that he had granted himself the right to sentence them as terrorists.

Through political manipulation, this is the first case of terrorism laws being used to convict direct action.

Let’s end this before it begins.

📢 Mobilise

🗓 Friday 12 June
🕙 10am – 5pm
📍 Woolwich Crown Court

Organise coaches or cars from your towns or cities, make banners, bring drums.

The message must be loud and clear to Judge Johnson: drop the terrorism label.

Over 11,000 Demand Action:
GP Who Expressed Endorsement for Killing of Palestinian Infants Continues to Practice Medicine

We’re just 80 signatures away from reaching 10,000 , sign below and share widely.

Sign the petition here: foa.org.uk/investigate-dr-eastland-staveley

Dr Eastland Staveley, a GP employed by DHU Healthcare, is reported to have responded to the question posed in reference to Palestinian children in Gaza, "how many babies have you sniped?" with the reply "not enough."

This is a public expression of endorsement for the killing of infants on ethnic grounds, and it is fundamentally incompatible with the practice of medicine. In fact, a private practice Dr Staveley was working at suspended him January 2026.

We call for his immediate suspension from clinical practice and if allegations are substantiated, striking off from the GMC medical register.

Petition will be submitted to: The General Medical Council (GMC), DHU Healthcare and Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health. Personal data will not be shared.

Israel seizes control of historic Nabi Samuel Mosque from the Islamic Waqf

Israel is increasingly taking control of Islamic holy sites in and around Al-Quds.

The seizure of the historic Nabi Samuel Mosque from the Islamic Waqf must be seen in the wider context of the Judaisation of Jerusalem and attempts to erode longstanding Islamic custodianship.

Following the 40-day Ramadan closure of Masjid Al-Aqsa, and recent reports that Israel is working to strip the Islamic Waqf of authority over Al-Aqsa itself, this appears to form part of a dangerous blueprint to test what can gradually be imposed on Islamic sacred sites.

Hands Off Al-Aqsa.

Imam Shoaib from The Islamic Centre Leicester speaks on the importance of standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people and raising awareness of the genocide taking place in Gaza.

He reminds us that Islam teaches us to show compassion, respect and love to all people, and ends with a heartfelt du‘a for peace, justice and the protection of all places of worship, including Masjid Al-Aqsa.

Please watch, reflect and share.

Humanitarian activist and crew member of the Love Aqsa boat, Jubair, alongside fellow Sumud Flotilla activists, have safely arrived in Istanbul after spending 3 days in Israeli captivity.

The activists were part of the Sumud Flotilla mission attempting to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid in solidarity with the Palestinian people amidst the ongoing genocide and blockade.

While sailing towards Gaza, the vessel was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters. Activists on board were detained, taken into Israeli custody

Please continue to keep them, the people of Gaza, and all those striving to break the siege in your prayers.

Notorious far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and his cronies have detained and tortured peaceful activists attempting to break the illegal siege on Gaza.

Ben-Gvir is known for repeatedly storming Masjid Al-Aqsa and for pushing for the trial and ex*****on of Palestinian prisoners through military courts.

Demand that the UK government call for their immediate release:
