A Letter From Jailed Palestine Action Activist Fatema Rajwani

Friday, 18 October 2024 — MintPress News

Fatema Zainab Rajwani, a Palestinian rights activist and member of Palestine Action, is languishing in a British jail for her involvement in direct action against Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms manufacturer with facilities in the United Kingdom.
